The cast's willingness to embrace the challenge with confidence and humour is commendable.

4* review for Ghost Stories @CurveLeicester https://t.co/D7VleAyH1N reviewer @gingerknit It's a bone-chilling blend of theatre and psychological thriller. @WhatsOnLeics

4* review for Much Ado About Nothing @TheRSC

It may make Shakespeare purists twitch but I absolutely loved it! Breathes new life into a familiar play @TheRSC #Hamlet #Shakespeare

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* review of @TheRSC Hamlet. https://t.co/EeWVU5QKB4 reviewer @gingerknit ,

Luke Thallon’s Hamlet is an electrifying departure from the brooding, introspective portrayals we’ve come to expect. His Hamlet is charged with nervous energy .. Exceptional performances across the board

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

Great show. Go see it Nottingham people at the Theatre of Year award winner @NottmPlayhouse 🎭

5* review for Girls & Boys @NottmPlayhouse https://t.co/GEWx6VGTAd reviewer Phil Lowe

Fantastic show see it if you can. Still touring the UK @DanceConsortium

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

4* review Re:INCARNATION QDance Company https://t.co/1BY5EML9PR reviewer @gingerknit @DanceConsortium It feels at once ancient yet strikingly modern. .... the dancers embody the spirit of Lagos — dynamic, rooted in history, yet always evolving.

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* review for @TheRSC As You Like It. https://t.co/Jfol209C4G reviewer @gingerknit The use of song and music enhances the storytelling and the whole cast excels in their dual roles. This is an ideal show to introduce new younger audiences to Shakespeare.

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* review for @JamieMusical @CurveLeicester https://t.co/oCkhd3MoTV reviewer @gingerknit Everybody really should be talking about Jamie. If you want to enjoy a fun-filled emotional rollercoaster of a story get yourself along to see it. At Curve until 20th July. @WhatsOnLeics

Hello old friend I’ve missed you whilst you’ve been touring #nottingham #thekiterunnerplay 🪁🎭

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* review @TheKiteRunnerUK @NottmPlayhouse @GilesCroft https://t.co/MfuOd2kEc3 Watching The Kite Runner is an emotional roller-coaster. It grips you from beginning to end. Do come and see it if you can. On at Nottingham Playhouse until the 20th April. @gingerknit

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

@GilesCroft @KiteRunnerPlay @NottmPlayhouse Such a shame you’re not here - they’re doing you proud. Was looking out for you and failing - clearly! Hope all is good with you xx

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

Still musing the answer to the questions raised including ‘how do I live with less’ and what is it with pesky chin hairs? #theatre #Nottingham #theatregreenbook @NottmPlayhouse @MantleClive @harker56

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* for The Children @NottmPlayhouse https://t.co/b1tRdk5jlL review @gingerknit The themes from this thought-provoking play along with Hazel, Rose & Robin will stay with you long after you’ve left the theatre... timely reminder that human actions have significant consequences...

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

Absolutely bloody loved Ben and Imo @TheRSC last night #SamuelBarnett and @VictoriaYeates are simply brilliant. Still pondering the nature of genius and the willingness of women to support self-obsessed mercurial men. #BenandImo #Theatre

[EastMidlandsTheatre @EM_Theatre]

5* review for @MarkRavenhill2 Ben and Imo @TheRSC Swan Theatre. https://t.co/b13H14aSpF reviewer @gingerknit ... a tour de force. It’s an opportunity to see fantastic actors who spark off each other. Their chemistry is electrifying. ... incredibly moving and funny. Don’t miss it.

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

@parcelforce I’ve sorted it. Gave up calling after waiting 30 minutes. Very helpful #Bramcote post office sorted the issue. Not the first time @parcelforce have messed up our delivery #badcustomerservice

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

25 minutes and still waiting @parcelforce you claim someone tried to deliver my parcel yesterday. They didn’t I was in all day. You claim a card was out through my letterbox. It wasn’t. How do I get my parcel from a local post office when I don’t know which one and have no card?

4* review for The Importance of Being Earnest @LMTheatre https://t.co/Ouvtebi6NH This was my first visit to The Lace Market Theatre and based on this production it certainly won’t be my last. After all, as Wilde puts it “I can resist everything except temptation." @gingerknit

[Caroline McKinlay @gingerknit]

Absolutely loved this production. You should be really proud @jdquarton and lovely to see you again x

5* review of Cinderella @derbytheatre https://t.co/wBcfMF4YXQ This is a heart-warming quirky and earthy retelling of Cinderella. Different but familiar enough to delight all the family. It’s both funny and thought provoking. An unexpected delight. Reviewer @gingerknit
