2025 Show round-up
2025 turned out to be another bumper year in terms of the shows we saw, ie. performing arts attendances, with more than 70 live events attended or participated in. Here's a round-up of the shows seen, including accompanying trailers and reviews.
Small Things Like These – a movie review
We were drawn to this Irish movie, Small Things Like These, mainly to see Cillian Murphy in his first movie role after his impressive Oscar-winning portrayal of J Robert Oppenheimer. After watching the first 15 minutes, it was clear this was a very different kind of movie; a slow burn, ponderous exploration of a man’s emotional struggle to come to terms with his discovery of disturbing secrets kept by the local convent as he reconciles them with the awkward truths about his own upbringing.
2024 Show round-up
This year saw a bump in our live show attendances, thanks to our 6-week European holiday in May-June during which we indulged in 16 shows while visiting a few cities. It was a decent haul of around 70 live performances overall, despite the conscious tightening of our belt due to inflationary and economic considerations.
