Theatre Review: The Chilling 1984
There was many a time that I literally jumped in my seat, gripping the arm rests – yes, it was that good. Be prepared to see a play of harsh, confronting truth; one that may leave you shaken and emotionally drained.

Sex. Love. Intimacy. It seems to me like Mac Miller must’ve had some life changing experiences to produce the heavenly album ‘The Divine Feminine’.
