The View From Lower Down

Full Review (4553 Words, so not for the faint-hearted. SPOILERS GALORE) Mischief Theatre's latest madcap performance is a spectacular display of what they are best at. Go in expecting a spectacle, with plenty of laughs thrown in for good measure. The hilarious writing talents of Mischief, combined with the magical expertise of Penn and Teller, combine to form a uniquely creative piece which showcases the trademark slapstick and dangerous stunts of Mischief Theatre interspersed with genuinely impressive magic tricks. A tour has been  hinted at  (DISCLAIMER: I do not have any official confirmation of this, so don't take my word as gospel!), so if you can't catch it in the West End before it closes on April 30, don't worry! If you can though, see it in London, but if you use a wheelchair, check out my accessibility review first! I'm looking forward to Mischief Theatre's 3rd instalment at the Vaudeville, which is shrouded in secrecy... UPDATE: Magic Goes Wr

The below is an extract from my review of Mischief Theatre's Groan Ups. Check that out here . As you probably know if you've read my reviews before, I am a wheelchair user, so, unfortunately, the review has to include a mandatory rant about disabled access, sorry. It's a shame because the Duchess Theatre ( home of The Play That Goes Wrong, hereafter shortened to TPTGW) is very accommodating of wheelchairs ( full accessibility review ).

There is no lift at all, and this is probably because  it is Grade II listed  (I do my homework when writing these reviews!) Therefore, wheelchair users have to sit in the stalls, which is also down 6 steps, although while booking tickets for Magic Goes Wrong (Mischief Theatre's next show) a theatre worker implied that there was some sort of stair climber available, although this was not mentioned at any point be

If you can't be bothered to read the entire review (coming in at a whopping 4553 words), you may be suffering from an illness known as not being completely nuts. Therefore, here's a link to the short review . Too late - Unfortunately, I saw MGW after the 'proper' reviewers saw it, so my review will be too late to make the top of Google's search list . Nevertheless, I'm still going to try to maximize my SEO (What's SEO, I hear you ask? Check out my GU review to find out) though. I've put it at the bottom though because there are so many keywords to include. Art Imitates Life - No, I didn't encounter a magician on my way t
