Death of a salesman – Opening Weekend

Mental Health + Travel + Activism

It’s the opening weekend for Arthur Miller’s Death of a salesman at the West End! Leading the cast is Wendell Pierce & Sharon D Clarke, meeting them was an absolute honour.After the play I was rather emotional and discussing the play with the cast was the best perk. Death of a salesman is THE BEST play I’ve ever seen.The music, a mix of jazz, blues & gospel sets the atmosphere of the room. The casting is exceptional and the set is stunning. I wasn’t familiar with the story and this production brought me to tears 4 times in 3 hours. … Continue reading Death of a salesman – Opening Weekend

Last night I went to the Royal Albert Hall, to attend – for the first time ever – Letters Live in London. Letters Live is a live celebration of the enduring power of literary correspondence. Each show always features a completely different array of great performers, reading remarkable letters written over the centuries and from around the world.

Sunday Roast – London

Mental Health + Travel + Activism

Okay, so here is the thing. I am not a huge fan of Sunday Roasts and this is mainly due to me believing that there is a bigger hype around it as it should be. Some of the roast I have tried, were not the best to say the least…no flavours, questionable quality of the meat, boring side dishes… But, then I went to Hack and Hop last weekend and my faith was restored a little bit. The place is hidden in a little street close to Blackfriars station and St. Paul’s Cathedral. They have amazing selection of ales, beers … Continue reading Sunday Roast – London
