So tonight | was sat next to another reviewer, a member of the critics' circle, who despite having met me and proving on multiple occasions she knows my name, generally doesn't acknowledge me.

Revisiting my fiction writing with a new post: Flash-fiction based on the prompt, "A power outage." samwaitewriter.wordpress.com/2025/01/13/w...

Making 2025 the year of writing, starting simple with some of the shows that stuck with me most in 2024: samwaitewriter.wordpress.com/2025/01/07/s...

While it's always a pleasure to see Sondheim's rarer works produced, this revival of 'Road Show' at Upstairs at the Gatehouse's strong ensemble and firm direction can't counter the show's deep-rooted issues. Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Achingly sensual and outstandingly original, this queer spin on 'Cyrano' is a fabulous addition to the Park Theatre's festive season, boasting a wonderful cast and a well-honed wit. Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

As stunningly sung as it is spectacularly staged, 'La bohème' at Royal Ballet and Opera is an extraordinary revival of this most beautiful and enduring of tragedies. Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

The triumphs and tragedies of Sutara Gayle's ever-evolving life & career are shared openly at the @royalcourt.bsky.social , where 'The Legends of Them' makes a powerful, well-deserved return to the London stage Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Spectacular stars find themselves in a marvellous mess as Tuck Shop take the West End by storm with their all-singing, all-dancing, all-drag 'Peter Pan' Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/panto-r...

The very model of a classic comic opera, Mike Leigh's refreshingly reverent and fabulously funny production of 'The Pirates of Penzance' makes a welcome return. Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

With chart-topping hits, a trip to the centre aisle of Lidl, and a Dame to end all Dames, 'Aladdin' at @lyrichammersmith.bsky.social made all of @samwaite92.bsky.social's wishes come true. Read his ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/panto-r...

Loyalties of sports teams and long-time friendships are tested in 'King James', a solid production from Hampstead Theatre bolstered by strong acting and nuanced design. Read @samwaite92.bsky.social's ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Back downstairs at Hampstead Theatre for 'King James' because if there's one thing I know, it's sports!🏀 Look out for my review this weekend on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social ✨

It’s a no from me. That word already means something pretty darn specific. I don’t want to skeet here, publicly.

Oh good, I can beg people to acknowledge my writing here as well

This seems like a good way to relaunch myself. Artist is Robbie Williams, yes that one.
