I&#8217;m Chris Neville-Smith, best known online for my theatre blog. But when I&#8217;m not reviewing other people&#8217;s work or making snarky comments about the state of theatre in general, I do create my own theatre. I&#8217;ve been particularly active at Brighton and Buxton Fringes with productions that I&#8217;ve written, produced, or both. I&#8217;ve also been active in technical support for other plays, particularly sound design. And also I do a comedy gameshow.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don&#8217;t expect a sales pitch here. I enjoy my self-deprecation too much to take this too seriously. But if you&#8217;ve been wondering what I&#8217;ve been up to, what I&#8217;ve got coming up or just want to say hi, welcome!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>CURRENT PROJECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The tragic villain from L\u00e9o Delibes&#8217;s <em>Coppelia <\/em>tells his side of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Comedy gameshow developed with the Rotunda Theatre.

I deliberately do not cover my own work on there, and I&#8217;m also cautious about covering anybody who I work with. However, in spite of being hard to please, I keep getting invited to review plays, mainly at Edinburgh and Brighton Fringes. If you want to know what I think of other plays, or you enjoy seeing me regularly biting the hand that feeds me, come on over and have a look.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Lorem Ipsum has been the industry&#8217;s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":850,"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions\/850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chrisnevillesmith.info\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
