Nostalgic laughs and cackles – The Faulty Towers dining experience

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ 3 Comments

When DVDs were still a thing, every German in the UK would end up with the twelve episodes of the 1970s TV comedy Fawlty Towers at some point on their birthday table, under the Christmas tree or as their Secret Santa gift - mainly because of that one admittedly very funny line the choleric hotel owner Basil Fawlty (played by Monty Pythoneer John … Continue reading Nostalgic laughs and cackles – The Faulty Towers dining experience

THE W.I.G OF LIFE: A CONFERENCE A radical exploration of collective responsibility hosted in the Camden People’s Theatre

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ Leave a comment

"You are all here, because we need your input on the final question on biological life: should we give it another chance or let it perish forever?" the makers of Psychonaut Theatre are asking in a not so distant future. A binary answer is needed from the programs the decorated audience presents tonight: Do we … Continue reading THE W.I.G OF LIFE: A CONFERENCE A radical exploration of collective responsibility hosted in the Camden People’s Theatre

This is the hour of the Shire-Folk: The Lord of the Rings at the Watermill Theatre

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ Leave a comment

It is the perfect summer day when I step out of the taxi at the Watermill Theatre in Berkshire and after almost three hours on the train to get here. This venue, surrounded by clear streams and beautiful willows, is a ten-minute drive away from Newbury station with no public transport alternatives available: A journey you … Continue reading This is the hour of the Shire-Folk: The Lord of the Rings at the Watermill Theatre

1797 – The Mariner’s Revenge at the Old Royal Naval College’s Admiral’s House

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ Leave a comment

If the Dungeons sound just a tad too “family entertainment” to you, 1797 – The Mariner’s Revenge is your maritime hauntology alternative for this Halloween season: No silly shiver-me-timbers, no franchise pirates and no Hans Zimmer tunes but instead grown-up madness, all comical, cruel, chaotic and strange. Immersive theatre, but cast-led. Yes, there can always … Continue reading 1797 – The Mariner’s Revenge at the Old Royal Naval College’s Admiral’s House

Immerse yourself in The West, now open in South London

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ Leave a comment

Crooks 1926 was easily the most talked about live show 2020 (Admittedly, it was a short year for live performances but nevertheless). Now we are back with the COLAB Theatre team for The West, the highly anticipated follow up and arrive with the open world expectations of Red Dead Redemption and the vitriolic dialogues and … Continue reading Immerse yourself in The West, now open in South London

An Evening Without Kate Bush at the Soho Theatre 

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ Leave a comment

When one of your favourite living artists stopped live gigs years before you were born, seeing her eventually perform live, feels surreal. Given her rare performances, superfans have turned to impersonators, theme parties, interviews with her stage dancers, fiction with fortifying titles like Waiting For Kate Bush and her biography Under The Ivy (updated in … Continue reading An Evening Without Kate Bush at the Soho Theatre

Civic Theatre’s exciting free and very educational Big Data Show takes place again online as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival 2021 – I already saw it in February and happily join a second time. As someone who has slid into jobs in the tech industry by pure chance, my hopes to learn a thing … Continue reading Civic Theatre presents The Big Data Show at the Edinburgh Science Festival

Chasing our memories through Lambeth: Fire Hazard Games’ Jekyll / Hyde

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ 2 Comments

I remember staying up all night as a teenager to read Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in one sitting as a teenager, a German translation admittedly and not the original text from 1886. The hypnotic narrative and tension made me regret years later still that Dr. Frankenstein’s fellow … Continue reading Chasing our memories through Lambeth: Fire Hazard Games’ Jekyll / Hyde

Immersive Theatre: We are a fair mob – Crooks 1926

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ 6 Comments

Secretly I dream to be a location scout for pop-ups and all things show business – and love the transformation of the former King William IV pub in Elephant & Castle being transformed into the hosting grounds of Crooks 1926, a new immersive theatre experience based on the gangster scene in London’s East End of … Continue reading Immersive Theatre: We are a fair mob – Crooks 1926

If you do not shout STOP, nothing will change – NUMB at the Vault festival

~ Sadie takes the Stage ~ 5 Comments

Located just under Waterloo Station, I match anyone to find a venue in London better connected than The Vaults. But because train timetables are still not as reliable as in, say, Japan I arrive at the Vault’s front desk only exactly on time, am then directed through the purple-haired, crunchy wearing Vault Festival crowds and … Continue reading If you do not shout STOP, nothing will change – NUMB at the Vault festival
