Itchy Review: Chariots of Fire, Gielgud Theatre

Films get made into plays these days – Itchy thinks it’s all a way of returning to the simple things in life… who needs a widescreen telly when you can watch real people doing real stuff on stage, eh? Matilda was a massive success, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory promises to be incredible, but what about an 80s cult … Continue reading

Itchy Review: Tuttons, Covent Garden

Itchy couldn’t wait to sample the delights of recently re-opened Tuttons in Covent Garden, especially after finding out that our parents used to go there while “courting” as a “special treat” – aw.

Itchy Review: Las Iguanas, Southbank

Las Iguanas has a slightly overwhelming menu. Itchy sat there for a good 10 minutes before we’d even decided what column to order from, let alone what actual dish we fancied. After a long debate about the merits of nachos vs tostadas we managed to order a round of tapas. They came out quickly and … Continue reading
