Well what a crazy-busy few weeks it has been! The world of Film and TV media have firmly had their sights set Stateside, more accurately, at San Diego for their annual Comic Con.  

Fans and media were treated to an amazing four days where both cast and crew from various films were in attendance in abundance.  There were teaser trailers galore, hilarious press conferences and of course, the stars of the movies were there themselves (cue many selfies from excited celebs!).  

The thing I love the most about Comic Con is gets you even more excited about film, if you weren’t impossibly excited already.  It’s great to see movies which are coming up to tease our tastebuds and more importantly, it’s a great way for fans to interact with their silver screen heroes.

Sticking with films, another thing to get us all hot under the collar was the release of the 50 Shades of Grey trailer – and Jamie Dornan of course.  WOW.  If ever there was a film with a whole heap of hype and expectation dumped on its shoulders, then this is certainly it!  

I was extraordinarily excited to see the trailer and was very surprised by the long length of it.  It makes me wonder, what else can they tease us with in the future?  Fans will certainly be wanting to see more footage in the coming months before the movie is released.  What else can they possibly show that won’t be too x-rated for a trailer of course?!

Outside of the silver screen and onto the stage now and another production, which has been causing quite the stir of late is The Crucible.  

I was lucky enough to get front row tickets for the Saturday evening performance directed by Yael Farber, which is performed in the round.  After hearing such rave reviews, I was not disappointed.  Not one bit.

The Crucible has received rave reviews and I cannot add to them enough. Outstanding.

The role of John Procotor played by The Hobbit’s Richard Armitage was powerful, chilling, mesmerising and more importantly, a memorable performance which stays imprinted on your brain, leaving you thinking about the play for days after.  

I took my mother along to the performance and she thoroughly enjoyed it equally as much.  

With the production performed in the round and sitting so close to the simplistic staging, it made us feel like we were actually there, in that time, drawing us in.  

In short, it was incredible!  

It has been a long time since I have watched a production that has given me chills right through to my inner core.

If you haven’t already purchased your tickets for the performance at the Old Vic in London, then you should not miss out.  

With the last few weeks of summer remaining, I hope you all enjoy it and keep yourselves safe in the sun!
