Reviews, Theatre - Up n Under Hull Truck Theatre 17th July By Nick Quantrill
	This special production of Up N Under is being staged to celebrate twenty years of John Godber productions at Hull Truck. As Godber's Olivier Award winner it's only right this should be the chosen play as well as it being an opportunity to reclaim its reputation back after the sheer awfulness of the film it spawned. It's truly Read more...

Reviews, Theatre - The Blockheads New Writing Festival Hull Truck June 23rd Review by Jane Foster.
	Special Guest Reviewers Michael Jackson - D-List celebrity with a confusing skin disorder. Snoop Doggy Dogg - A gentleman entertainer who likes the ladies.

Reviews, Films - Fahrenheit 911 - Moore heat By Martin J Deane
	I announced this film to cheers at The Welly when Sam Ahmed and his band invited us to speak, on 4th July, Independence FROM America Day. Michael Bush-whacker Moore takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the Republicans stealing the 2000 election - with shameful scenes of one black Representative Read more...

Reviews, Theatre - UpN'Under Hull Truck Theatre 13th July By Michelle Dee
	A near capacity audience at the Spring Street Theatre attended the twentieth anniversary performance of John Godber's Rugby League comedy on Tuesday evening. A remarkable testament to the extraordinary pulling power and appeal of his work. There was an audible buzz of excitement among the crowd as we sat down to enjoy Read more...

Reviews, Theatre - Be My Baby at The Hull Truck Theatre Saturday 12th June By Cilla
	I'm not a regular theatre goer. Not at all. It's like a different world to me. And frankly in the past I'd say that overall I felt disappointment and (perhaps imagined) exclusion from that scene. My sister could appreciate it, enjoy it even but I always thought of myself as not the type to go Read more...

Reviews, Books - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time By Mark Haddon Reviewed by Steve Rudd
	I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish. This strangely endearing novel is one of the most originally-styled that Read more...

Reviews, Films - Bring me Sunshine - Eternal sunshine of a spotless Mind By Lee Cassanell
	I believe that it's much easier to make people laugh than it is to make them cry and if you look back over all the films you've seen in your life, I'll wager that the ones you shed tears over are your secret favourites. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of those movies and although I wasn't quite blubbing like Read more...

Reviews, Special Events - Simon Armitage at PAVE 22nd March 04 by Elsie Creek
	It seemed that, until this event, I was the only person in existence not to have heard of Simon Armitage. Nowadays, the writings of this ex-probation officer, from the small West Yorkshire town of Marsden, are apparently even studied at GCSE. I'm sure that is the final proof of success for even the most Read more...
