Theatre Reviews
By Sarah Jeffries and Amy Milka — January 23, 2007
Oh yes it is! Sarah Jeffries and Amy Milka report for our panto special At any mention of pantomime I can’t help but conjure images of inescapable jollity and headache-inducing colours, so I was wary at the prospect of Cinderella at York Theatre Royal. However this is no ordinary panto. Written and led by Berwick [...]
Chicago, York Grand Opera House
By Amy Milka — January 23, 2007
An antidote to a dreary January night: immerse yourself in the “old razzle-dazzle” of Chicago. The musical has once again been revived and is on the road, even stopping in York for a fortnight, and filling the Opera House to bursting point.

Contrary to student popular opinion, there are two Galleries in York. In one, you can expect to be doused in dubious champagne, and possibly even bodily fluids. In the other, you can expect to pass a leisurely Sunday afternoon and not spend the entirety of the next day cocooned in a duvet drinking Tetleys.
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, Michael Baignet, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln
By Amy Milka — June 27, 2006

Chroniclers of the Wind, Henning Mankell
By Amy Milka — May 26, 2006
Chroniclers of the Wind marks a departure from author Henning Mankell’s usual line of crime fiction, although it explores some similar thematic issues. The novel is full of little amusing but sad anecdotes about a street urchin in an unnamed African port town, Nelio, renowned throughout the city for living on his wits. It is also about Jose Antonio Maria Vaz, a baker who hears gunfire and finds Nelio on his roof.
White Blood, James Flemming
By Amy Milka — March 14, 2006
From the author of Thomas Gage and Temple of Optimism comes a gritty new offering: Fleming takes us on a journey which spans continents and makes and breaks lives. Through the eyes of his naturalist protagonist, Charlie Doig, we encounter a fascinating world of science and intrigue, with enough political and romantic confusion thrown in to keep the pages turning. Fleming’s descriptions are detailed and uncompromising without being tiresome, while his characters are edgy and complex.
