Bio

" '...He seemed terribly disappointed at that, and confided to me that all the dramatic critics were in a conspiracy against him, and that they were every one of them to be bought.'

'I should not wonder if he was quite right there. But, on the other hand, judging from their appearance, most of them cannot be at all expensive.' "

Oscar Wilde, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'
Matt Boothman has been reviewing theatre in London and the South East since June 2008. He may look like an old-guard establishment critic (white and male, that is) but don't hold his ethnicity against him - he's young and tech literate, and tries hard not to be middle class all the time...

Matt is:

a regular contributor to the London Theatre Blog and the British Theatre Guide;

a weekly columnist for The 5th Medium;

a seasonal contributor to The List;

an occasional contributor to the Oxford Times, the Maidenhead Advertiser and Remote Goat.

He also tweets about theatre and journalism; follow him @MattBoothman.
