STAGE REVIEW: Mixtape @ Arts Centre Washington (19.12.24)

Dec 30, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Laugh-out-loud funny, clever, quirky, brain-scrambling and most of all fun, Mixtape is a concept that is hard to explain, but a definite must see. Part comedy sketch show, part music gig, part theatre show, Mixtape is mixes comedy sketches, a music quiz and a great night out, or as I described it to my partner (a Mixtape virgin) it’s like Whose Line Is It Anyway meets a really great pub quiz.
ART & LIT REVIEW: Space by Luxmuralis @ Durham Cathedral (09.10.24)

Oct 12, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Image by Peter WalkerThere is something immersive and emotionally affecting about intense colour, whether it’s watching a gorgeous pink sunset or trying to spot the Northern Lights, and Space by Luxmuralis falls under this umbrella as an experience. Durham Cathedral is experienced in hosting these events now, as this is the artist collective Luxmuralis’ third time presenting here, and there is no doubt that the amazing building with its stunning architecture is a massive part of the experience.

For one, it’s an adaptation of a horror film that became a phenomenon, presented live on stage.

STAGE REVIEW: Love It If We Beat Them @ Live Theatre, Newcastle (12.09.24)

Sep 17, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Image: L-R David Nellist, Jess JohnsonLove It If We Beat Them, written by Rob Ward and directed by Bex Bowsher kicks off the September season at Live Theatre with a warm and funny performance that also had hard-hitting moments and food for thought. The characters were engaging from the off, the writing making us laugh frequently, with lines packed full of knowing references to football, politics and being Northern (proper Northern, not like Manchester or Leeds).
STAGE REVIEW: Luke Wright’s Silver Jubilee @ ARC, Stockton (13.06.24)

Jun 21, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Being a bit of a Luke Wright fan I was expecting to enjoy this, and I really did. I would thoroughly recommend becoming familiar with Luke Wright’s work if you get the chance, it has a wider appeal than your average spoken word poet might. It’s rock n roll (or in this performance drum and bass) poetry with a sideline in philosophy, social commentary and stand up–style humour.
STAGE REVIEW: The Death & Life of All of Us @ Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle (18.06.24)

Jun 21, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Image by Christa HolkaThis one man performance from Victor Esses opens intimately, the stage set-up with two microphone stands, a background for film projection, a guitar player (Enrico Aurigemma) and Victor himself on stage, searching the shadows with a headlight torch. What is he searching for? Given the themes of the show he could be searching the past, for secrets and hidden stories within his family background, or seeking his own sense of self and identity.
STAGE REVIEW: Underdog - The Other Other Brontë @ Northern Stage, Newcastle (12.06.24)

Image: L-R Rhiannon Clements as Anne, Gemma Whelan as Charlotte, Adele James as EmilyThe no expense spared production of Underdog: The Other Other Brontë has proved very popular, and was packed with an appreciative and warm audience, many of whom were also enjoying the wrap around events Northern Stage has programmed.
STAGE REVIEW: The Bounds @ Live Theatre, Newcastle (18.05.24)

May 22, 2024 | narcmagazine.com | Amy Mitchell

Image by Von Fox PromotionsA mist lies across the stage, where a grassy and muddy mound awaits. Early morning, the day of the Big Game, and we’ve been told that men will die today. We hear a folk song – or is it a football chant? – which sounds at once both modern and ancient, as Percy (played engagingly by Ryan Nolan) enters and takes up his position on the boundaries – the very far boundaries – of the massive pitch.
