REVIEW. 'The Fourth Samurai' at Escape Hunt UK...

...it’s about the ‘Things We Enjoy’ in life.

Things We Enjoy (or ‘T.W.E’) is a brand new online & live outlet celebrating arts, culture, entertainment, and all that which, well, we enjoy.

In what are difficult and unpredictable times to navigate, that odd episode of a television programme we love, or getting lost in the pages of a good book, or exploring our myriad of feelings through painting, drawing or even acting them out on screen; these are more important outlets of escapism and expression than ever before; the very process and products of creativity and artistry helping to keep many people centred in these trying times.

At T.W.E, we are all about not just celebrating and exploring the arts, culture and entertainment, but also grounding it in context, looking at key and current issues through the prism of creativity and entertainment, and also putting out content imbued with the same passion and dedication as the very artists, creators and work we look at.

No clickbait. No sensationalism. No filler.
