The Nutcracker Returns To The Birmingham Hippodrome
I’ve always said that Christmas truly begins with a performance of The Nutcracker by the Birmingham Royal Ballet. This year this seems to be truer than ever, and so it is a warm return that greets a different version of the perennial favourite, with the Birmingham Hippodrome this year hosting the London version, one that combines the traditional ballet with wonderful projections, and also gives the ballet a voice in the form of narrator magician Drosselmeyer (danced to perfection by Rory Mackay, voiced by the inimitable Simon Callow.) The story is still the one we know and love, albeit with a charming Victorian opening set around Drosselmeyer’s toy shop.…

The Truly Outrageous Death Drop Delights Birmingham
As a huge Agatha Christie fan, I love a good murder mystery. And Death Drop is a good, old fashioned murder mystery, just with added drag queens. It has the lonely, cut off country house, the stormy night, the cast of characters, none of whom have met their host before, and then it has the mysterious deaths. But there the resemblance to ‘And then there were none’ end. Because I don’t think any of the deaths in that remarkable Agatha Christie story were the fault of a Findus crispy pancake… On a cold and stormy night, a group of people are invited to a party to celebrate Charles and Diana’s…

6 Safe Bet Gifts That Are Perfect For The Holidays
Gift buying is sometimes an anxiety-filled experience. Getting someone a gift requires you to understand their personality, know their desires, and have an idea of what they already own. But you usually don’t have all of that information, whether it be family, friends, or colleagues.

So trying to get a gift during the holiday season is tough, but getting multiple gifts will be an even taller order. …
