Justin Bond’s Lustre

Last night I went to the Soho Theatre in London for Justin Bond's cabaret show called Lustre.
I had no idea what to expect because it was the first time I've ever been to a cabaret show.
Coincidentally… this would also be my first time to a theatre show in London.
On the whole, it was great. The [...]

Kak Duidelik

Despite this, it’s amazing to see how different things were. I hardly recognise the place.
