REVIEW: Daddy Issues at The Seven Dials playhouse

Welcome to Imi’s (Bebe Cave) Halloween Vlog, and it’s all about the wake of Roger, Imi’s beloved dog who has sadly passed. It doesn’t help the wake happens to be on the year anniversary of her dad's suicide., All a bit much really and mourning both her dad and Roger you wonder if Imi is as ok as she’s saying to all those viewers? 

Andrew Exeter’s set immediately gives us the homely feel that would befit a girl in her room about to do a live video, a vibrant coloured backdrop with cupboards, windows, photos of the dog, the lot … and the ashes of Roger taking centre stage. As she begins to ramble through her video the voices of both her dad (James Cardigan) and Grandad (Richard Hope) play over in her head in various scenes, it then quickly becomes a three-way conversation with her, the viewers and the voices in her head. 

REVIEW: Steve at the Seven Dials Playhouse

Does anyone still wear, a hat? I’ll drink to that! 

Here’s to the ladies who lunch, and the cast of ‘Steve’! Whom I was lucky enough to watch live last night during their press night performance. The play, directed by Andrew Keates, is currently making its European premiere in the heart of London at The Seven Dials Playhouse. 

The minute I stepped into the space, I was greeted by an infectious buzz and undeniable anticipation for this inaugural production at Seven Dials Playhouse. Having previously run in NYC in 2015, where it was listed as The New York Times Critic’s Pick, I was yearning to delve into a world of escapism, comedy and more Stephen Sondheim references than an Off-Broadway revival of Sunday in the Park with George!
