Taking issue with contrary opinions on Twitter, an audience member taking photos at the Union, and visiting Southampton and Bath — and of course seeing Cumberbatch’s Hamlet.
Diary of a theatre addict: From P-town to DC & NYC
I’ve been to P-town, New York, DC and WIlliamstown in the last fortnight – and I finally catch up in my latest diary today!
Diary of a Theatre Addict: (Not Quite) Taking a Theatre Break
I saw just five shows last week between London, New York, Boston and Provincetown! I’m having a break….!
Diary of a theatre addict: nine shows, one film and twelve steps!
I’m Mark Shenton and I’m a theatre addict. There isn’t a 12 Step programme for me there (and I don’t want one), but the 12 Steps are a great recipe for healthy living in other areas, and EVERYMAN clearly uses them.

Diary of a theatre addict: New York weddings, interviews, shows and (very) cloudy views from the WTC
I saw six shows in New York, plus one film, and did three big interviews: Tony winner Alex Sharp, Michael Feinstein and Andrew Lloyd Webber, during a busy week there…. and came home for Bettte Midler!
