What’s happened to Easter? A Christian perspective

Posted by | Mar 31, 2023 | , |          

      With Easter upon us, sales of Creme Eggs and yellow, fuzzy toy chicks are sky-rocketing. In light of this, a few inquisitive folk and I have noticed just how heavily commercialised Easter has become. In our consumerist world we are left asking ourselves what exactly have we done to Easter? Easter eggs went on sale in Tesco on Christmas Eve, and in the weeks prior to the actual event we watch in horror as shops are adorned in yellow and green boas. In today’s day and age the focus of Easter has clearly shifted from one…

A Review of the Acclaimed Thirsty: Both Comedy and Drama

Posted by | Mar 31, 2023 | , |          

When I arrived at the Marlowe theatre I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew it was going to be about drinking, yet I couldn’t decide whether I was to expect a comedy or a drama. As it turned out it was an amazing mixture of both. The two performers, Jemma McDonnell and Kylie Walsh perfectly reached the heart of both the fun and the dangers of drinking. Although the play started with audience interaction, which I must admit scares me a little when I go to the theatre, they both performed brilliantly. The chemistry between the two was…

Album Review: ‘Exile’ by Hurts

Posted by | Mar 29, 2024 | , |          

Pop-duo Hurts – made up of vocalist Theo Hutchcraft and keyboardist/guitarist Adam Anderson – have come a long way in four years. In that time, they’ve gone from jobless to pop icons: having one of the fastest-selling albums of 2010 in the UK, two European tours, and at least ten European music awards under their belts. Not bad for a pair of twenty-something-year olds from Manchester. And that’s without mentioning the guest album appearance from Kylie Minogue (vocals on ‘Devotion’). So there was just a smidgeon of pressure for their follow-up album to produce similar results. Hurts’ second album ‘Exile’…

The Much Loved Richard Griffiths Passes Away, Aged Just 65

Posted by | Mar 29, 2024 | , |          

Aged just 65, well-known and much loved actor, Richard Griffiths, passed away yesterday of complications following heart surgery at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire. He was one of a rare breed of actors who could, and frequently did with great success, cross the challenging boundaries between film, television and theatre. He certainly made his mark not only on the stage and screen, but also on the hearts of his audience and co-stars. Daniel Radcliffe, who starred alongside him both in Harry Potter and in the stage production of Equus, said of his fellow actor that “any room…
