Biography coming soon

Selwyn Knight : Central Editor

Email: Central@thereviewshub.com

Selwyn has loved theatre for as long as he can remember. During his time at university he thinks he watched every single available theatre performance, both professional and amateur – some of which were truly wonderful, others rather less so! Selwyn especially enjoys new writing and small, intimate fringe-like venues. He now really enjoys the idea of helping others make theatre decisions by sharing his thoughts on performances he’s seen.

Lauren Humphreys: Scotland Regional Editor

Email: Scotland@thereviewshub.com

A life-long theatre-goer, it was a desire to promote theatre in her local area that led to the creation of www.glasgowtheatreblog.com. Since its launch, Lauren has gone on to write features and reviews and conduct interviews for both print and online publications on the Scottish theatre scene. Needless to say, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is a personal highlight each year for Lauren.

Simon Topping : Brighton & Worthing Editor

Email: TRHBrighton@gmail.com

Simon has written for The Reviews Hub since 2017. He’s passionate about the Brighton Fringe and typically reviews forty to fifty shows each year within it. The depth and breadth of production in the Fringe continues to delight; from mesmerising Shakespeare plays in the medium of puppetry, to side-splitting one-woman shows about birthing eggs, he’s seen some amazing (and amazingly odd) shows as well as performing in his own. Simon says, “I love reviewing for Reviews Hub. You just don’t know what mind-bending production will be next.”

Laura Marriott : Ireland Editor

Email: Ireland@thereviewshub.com

Laura has had a life long love of theatre and feels incredibly lucky to have been writing for The Reviews Hub since 2015. Her M.Phil focused on Shakespeare, which alongside pantomime and new, small productions, is one of her special interests. One of the great joys of going to the theatre so much has been seeing individual theatre makers develop over the years and she thinks that it is important to celebrate small theatres and the importance of the arts in Ireland.
