I left London for a blissful life in the country, but was so lonely I moved back to Soho
It's strange being back in Soho, three years after leaving central London for Somerset.

First Night Swirling around the audience, this Dream is feverish, erotic fun
Nicholas Hytner’s acrobatic, erotic, playfully queered version of Shakespeare’s Dream seems even more delightful now than it was in 2019. It’s a fully immersive show, with audience members in the Bridge's hi-tech pit (there are seats too) swirling around action at ground level and on raised rostra but also gazing up at bodies twisting and flexing in silk slings up in the air. It’s beautifully staged and acted, thought provoking, technically brilliant, and ends up with a party. Seriously, what's not to like?

Diver Tom Daley loves dancing at Omeara and pressing the champagne button at Bob Bob Ricard
I never really got to go “out out” that often when I was in London because I was always training. So I always appreciated going to see a drag show, going to the theatre. Jodie Harsh would always host a drag brunch on a Sunday.
