AVENUE Q
Avenue Q. which is playing at the Noel Coward Theatre in London's west end is  sometimes described as a street-cred adult version of Sesame Street, Avenue Q uses a similar style of presentation to that of the popularAmerican children's show. Sesame Street style puppets are found in abundance, several of them being parodies of original characters in Jim Henson's show. Avenue Q like Sesame Street also uses a mix of live actors and puppet operators to carry the story.
Avenue Q is a show with an adult theme and although there may be puppets on stage, you won't find them dealing with issues of the Kindergarden! The Avenue Q puppets are portrayed as a group of twenty and thirty-somethings living in the crumbling back alleys of New York City. Their facial features are less slightly welcoming than Big Bird and co, etched with their experiences of life - and their topics of conversation echo this. On the agenda are attitudes towards pornography, racism and homosexuality. The language is colourful and the jokes crude. Avenue Q is most definitely not for those who are easily offended!

THE WOMAN IN BLACK
The Woman In Black at the Fortune Theatre follows in the footsteps of the classic ghost  story, keeping the tradition of Charles Dickens, M.R James, Henry James and Edith Wharton. It is not a tale of terror or horror story, yet the events build up to a horrifying climax and instil a sense of horror. It relies on atmosphere, a vivid sense of place, on hints and glimpses and suggestions, on what is shadowy, heard and sometimes only half-seen, to chill the reader's blood to the marrow and make reading the book alone at night a bad idea for the faint-hearted.

WAITING FOR GODOT
Fifty years ago when Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot exploded on to the London stage, it shocked as many people as it delighted. People had never seen a play like it. Two tramps clowning around, arguing and joking, repeating themselves, as they wait through one day and then another, waiting for the mysterious Godot. The combination of music hall, poetry and tension redefined what is possible in theatre, so that these days Waiting for Godot is accepted as one of the most significant plays of the 20th century. Samual Beckett's characters have lost none of their power to fascinate and amuse and this production, directed by the acclaimed theatre and film director, Sean Mathias, has attracted the sort of great actors that the play deserves.
