We thought we would watch something different for us. We enjoyed "A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum." It was funny and entertaining with a good cast.

Went to a Saturday afternoon show. This was my first visit to this theatre to see Death & The Maiden. It's an intriguing place and the diversity of the people was interesting. I'll go back & may take the kids this time.

A pleasant little theatre, with a homely feel. Especially good for children, and also local productions.

The auditorium is amazing and the backstage areas are fantastic, plenty of room for... More
