From Stage to Screen Blogathon

Just come across this Blogathon which is taking place next weekend! Certainly something I am very interested in given my love for theatre and going to see shows as well as going to the cinema and watching films. So my plan is to pull together a few blog posts for this one! Or at the very least one long blog post with the possibility of then having a feature running in a similar theme for the shows I have seen on the stage and also seen the film version.

The blogathon is being run by Rachel over at Rachel’s Theatre Reviews and Rosie over at The Rosebud Cinema. Such an incredible idea from the pair and I am very much looking forward to putting together a good post over the next week to take part. So thought it was a great idea to give the whole blogathon a shoutout and see if anyone else wants to get involved!

Robin Williams: A Tribute

I don’t even know where to start with this blog post, I feel so sad even just having to write it. I cannot believe Robin Williams is no longer part of this world. He has always been one of my favourite actors and totally made my childhood with so many films which I still love to this day. I have seen a huge range of his films and will continue to catch up with the ones I have missed. In the past few days I have found myself watching Mrs Doubtfire, Jumanji and Dead Poets Society because they have all been on Sky Movies. Yes I do have those on DVD as well.
