Despite the shocking death toll in this delightfully bonkers Cluedo-style musical, it was a great night out and fully deserved the enthusiastic applause of the audience.
Everyone’s a winner at Lounge Bar BOTB final

It was truly a genre-spanning night, and a great twist on a Battle of the Bands. As usual the Lounge Bar comes up trumps for supporting local bands and local artists.

Review: The Madness of George III (Chichester Festival Theatre)
Tuesday 15th November 2011
It is the extremes of the role which make the performance so commanding. It ranges from tender and funny (Haig’s comic timing is fantastic) through to the sheer physicality of his portrayal of a man trapped in an extremely painful illness of body and mind that leaves him scratching, writhing and ranting uncontrollably. It is impossible to take your eyes off him whenever he is on stage
