Review: People, Places and Things @ Exeter Northcott
People Places & Things has been the undoubted thing to see for the theatre geeks this term and, as a proud theatre nerd myself, I was elated to take my seat at Exeter Northcott Theatre on Tuesday 31 October. After a whirlwind success at the National Theatre, the production is now on tour and it’s easy […]
Review: Spamalot @ Exeter Northcott
Ham and jam and Spam(alot): a grim combination but a lovingly revived musical, Spamalot brings you the classic gags from the loved Monty Python and the Holy Grail. From floppy fish to bible bashing and even nipple tassles (a fabulous new edition), this show has the perfect ingredients for a new belly-shaking experience. The original film […]
Review: Izindava @ Exeter Northcott
Haunting backlights, dark silhouettes and convicting voiceovers – the implications of deeper truths and knowledge are hardly deficient in Bawren Tavaziva’s Izindava. The dancers took me on an intense journey that expressed, through movement, a journey through postcolonial Zimbabwe with its greed, corruption and injustice. It is an emotionally driven tale that I believe would […]
Review: Princess Ida
When Imogen Knott, Choreographer for Princess Ida, asked me to review their upcoming production, I immediately launched into an enthusiastic yes. Having never seen a G&S production before, I thought it perfect that I should go into a review blind to what G&S provide. Perhaps somewhat harshly, I attended their opening night. Yet I shouldn’t […]
Review: This Is My Body at Exeter Northcott
A one-woman-play about human trafficking, lasting 75 minutes without interval, sounds intense, intimidating and even discouraging. But if you want real proof regarding the power of theatre, This Is My Body is it. Josephine is from Romania, brought over to England to sell sex. Leaving behind a loving family and small daughter, she has been bought, […]

It’s a Wednesday evening on 27 January, which marks the opening of Footlight’s latest venture, and perhaps their most ambitious project yet, Phantom of the Opera, held in Exeter’s Northcott Theatre.

Review: Northcott’s ‘A Christmas Carol’
Sitting in Exeter’s Northcott Theatre surrounded by wide-eyed families as opposed to the usual pack of bleary-eyed students was rather perturbing to say the least, but then A Christmas Carol is the quintessential familial festive drama. Charming, heart-warming and sweet, the play catered for the family perfectly. Adults laughed at jokes that passed innocently over […]
Review: Flare Path
Laurel Bibby, Online Lifestyle Editor, reviews Terence Rattigan’s Flare Path. As I clutched my press tickets excitedly and entered the auditorium at the Northcott Theatre to see Terence Rattigan’s Flare Path, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. I’ve seen plenty of wartime productions before, as I’ve always found it to be an extremely interesting era; Lotty’s […]
