'The Oxford Wine Company truly has a wine for every occasion, so I was excited when given the opportunity to review a bottle'

The 2023 men’s tennis calendar certainly had fans anticipating big things, with fresh, young blood threatening to disrupt the status quo and upset the tennis hierarchy by challenging the top players. Below I discuss the winners and losers on tennis’ biggest stages in 2023

"Immensely funny, masterfully constructed, and, uncannily familiar", Anuj Mishra reviews Billie Esplen's original play 'Cowboys and Lesbians'.

The Metamorphosis was, understandably, intense, and weird – in a good way. Blessed with excellent performances, and clever use of technology, the play captured all the absurdity of Kafka.

'With at least 12 different musical instruments on stage, Collier tirelessly leapt from one instrument to another across the stage'

"Broken Eggs is just the kind of reason I love the food industry - put simply, it is a love letter to a favourite dish in restaurant form."

"I think the hype train has still got a way to go."

"The creaminess of the cheese complements the punchy beets and blood orange perfectly and the balance of flavours is bang on."

By Proxy is shocking, morally complicated, and will have you frustrated, yet empathetic towards both Kit and Jo. It is also hysterically funny, with witty dialogue and inside jokes that will appeal to the Oxford student. By Proxy is a brilliant balancing act that engages at every turn.

'Before us is a potted plant, a porcelain tea set, a dinner table, and a couple in embrace.'

'This is a production that knows what it’s doing.'

"What makes it even more special though is the ethos behind it and every single dish on offer."

'The charm of the production was in the idea that the titular house had been witness to all sorts of burgeoning relationships throughout its tenure, and this was sweetly conveyed through Nott and Bruton’s writing.'

Andrew Raynes’ production of Macbeth is a successful exploration of the play’s tension and comedy, and the cast and crew should be congratulated on bringing that out. The production succeeds in creating the world of Macbeth, and is blessed with some very talented actors which help bring it to life.
