Review: Hay Fever
"There's something delightfully romantic about the inter-war years, something that makes me hanker for devilled kidneys and a cigarette holder."
Theatre? What theatre?
With student attendance at York Theatre Royal falling, Henry offers a good rationale for anyone doubting the merits of professional theatre over, say, the campus Drama Barn. Review: Beautiful Thing
"Truly a beautiful thing" says Henry about this Pilot Theatre Company production. Review: Macbeth
Macbeth at the Theatre Royal is one of the best adaptations Henry has seen. "Go and see it - tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow!", he advises. Review: Far Away
Although impressed by the technical standards of the performance Henry was left cold by Far Away. Checklists: need to complete them
Another student who's beginning to consider life-after-university is Henry. His to-do checklist has changed somewhat since his days as a sprightly 19-year old first year... What is it with Christmas films?
"Instead of the classic 'Home Alone' we are subjected to the inferior sequel 'Home Alone 2; Lost In New York'." Live Aid: You've gotta love the eighties!
"Believe it or not, it's been nigh on twenty years since gentle hairy Bob Geldof grapped his moustachioed mate Midge Ure, dragged his pop friends into a cold studio, and recorded 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'." Gambling... A quick buck?
For all you students out there who find, as ever, that you are short of cash, there is a way out. Gambling. OK, so I shouldn't be advocating such an activity but when it comes down to it, Poker really is the way forward. Review: Brassed Off? Certainly not!
'You've seen the film, now watch the play'. OK, not one of the most popular taglines but in this case a worthy one. Definitely worth an evening out to go and see, 'Brassed Off' was a mini tour-de-force. Working holidays
Beyond bar or shop work there are not many options for students during semesters, especially if they are doing a subject with a high concentration of contact time. We can't be expected to sacrifice our education in order to pay the bill for it, that doesn't make sense! Living the Glastonbury dream
Part of the essential student experience is a trip (or two) to a major pop festival. Mud, sweat, dirty clothes, cheap cider, awful smells, loud music, takeaway food and funny substances, and that is all before leaving the house! Meet Henry
A few words from the man himself, to give you a glimpse of things to come. Could you be a student diarist?
