This week on The Walking Dead, the splinter groups split up again, and everyone did a lot of walking, go figure. Beth and Daryl have kept trekking through the woods in search of shelter to replace the perfectly good house they burned down.

This month, we have Chekhov’s The Seagull, a personal favourite of mine; Stupid F**cking Bird, Sort of Adapted from Chekhov’s The Seagull; Bully Dance, a dark and twisted mind-raising play; But the […]
