At first glance the PVC jacket looks unremarkable, however if the wearer feels their space is being encroached by others, the coat can be inflated via an electric pump into a valve in the jacket – creating a barrier between wearer and busy crowds. When inflated the Space Optimiser* jacket creates an exclusion zone of […]
New York – Bee Style
January 15, 2020 by
When you think of New York, you think of Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, the 9-11 Memorial or the MOMA.

Here are arts reviewer Bee’s current picks: Brooklyn Museum https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/ […]
Bermuda Beautiful at La Serena Spa
January 12, 2020 by
An Elemis BIOTEC face treatment at La Serena Spa at the Reefs Resort Bermuda took years off me – and a couple of hundred local bucks*. Being a bit of geek, I liked the look of the science around the Line Eraser treatment with its galvanising micro currents, flashing lights and blasts of oxygen. Sounds a […]
Orpheus Cycle at the English National Opera
January 7, 2020 by
The ENO took the extraordinary step of staging an Orpheus cycle with different composers tackling the story of a man who goes down to hell to bring back his love. This myth is widely known and has been the basis of countless works, so it was interesting to see, which 4 works were chosen. The […]
Review: Frankenstein NYT REP Season
December 2, 2019 by
At the Southwark Playhouse this fun production of the old story of Frankenstein has a modern twist by exploring the idea of artificial intelligence as the monster, who defies its creator. And to gender switch the scientists and the monster to women and adopt a totally female centric position might look like a gimmick and […]
Review: On Bear Ridge at the Royal Court
November 28, 2019 by
The Royal Court Theatre is well known to champion contemporary playwriters and with this excellent production of On Bear Ridge, it once again puts on a play, which is both of this time and still has an oddly ancient feel to it. The double bill of writer Ed Thomas and Vicky Featherstone co-direct a thought-provoking […]
Review: Death of a Salesman
November 12, 2019 by
After a sell out run at the Young Vic, this top notch production of Death of a Salesman received a well deserved transfer to the West End. You have probably already seen the Arthur Miller play – one of the juggernauts of modern theatre – but never quite like this. Maybe it takes women like directors […]

Time to Start Dreaming of a Vilnius Christmas
October 7, 2019 by
Trips to Christmas markets just don’t happen by themselves, do they? So it’s October in Europe and it’s getting a little chilly. Time to start dreaming about Vilnius, Lithuania – which promises a fairytale-like experience and one of the best trees around. If last year’s mesmerising clock tree is anything to go, by Cathedral Square […]
