I’ve been blogging about theatre and reviewing for 16 years, receiving many press releases and invites every week.
Here are a few tips for those promoting plays and musicals on a shoestring to help you, help bloggers write and review your work.
Most bloggers, like me, don't earn anything; it's a hobby, something done for love alongside a job.
So anything that helps speed up the admin is always welcome.
Please share or pass on and visit for the full guide.
Are you an online theatre reviewer? What tip would you add?

Does your social media name have a story attached?

Sunday theatre question this week is about theatre habits.
Do you buy your tickets when a play or musical is announced or once the reviews are out?
(Bonus question: Have your ticket-buying habits changed over time?)

About last night…Care at the Young Vic.
Having experienced first hand having a parent living in a nursing home and also losing both parents there was a lot that hit home about this play.
Safe to say that while it had its funny moments it was an emotional watch.
More thoughts soon.
Is it on your theatre watch list?

Trip to the Bush Theatre to see I’m Not Being Funny.
It’s a play that makes you both laugh and cry at My Heart Will Go On.
More thoughts soon.

It only seems like yesterday we were up in York watching Krapp’s Last Tape starring Gary Oldman.
Different audience, same sublimely subtle performance.
And bonus amuse-bouche Godot’s To-do List which was very fitting.
Is it on your list?
