Thank You for Six Months of Prestridge²

Prestridgesquared.com has just turned six months. It has proved an enjoyable debut as we have immersed ourselves in the best film, theatre and live music that the country has to offer.

We have reviewed the latest films, attended numerous Q&As with eminent directors and watched some of the best theatre – both in the west end and fringe – and listened to great live music. It has been a privilege and a joy. We hope you like what we are trying to do – write with knowledge and where possible with wit.

It has given us immense enjoyment to absorb ourselves in the arts and tell you how we see it – on occasion warts and all.

Below we give you our favourite 10 reviews so far. You may well beg to differ. If so, please let us know.

In the months ahead, we intend to continue reviewing the best of the arts scene – in London and when possible elsewhere across the country.

We love what we do. We hope you do too.
