Here's what we think

Set in a 1950s Italian-American neighborhood by the Brooklyn Bridge, A View from the Bridge follows Eddie, an Italian immigrant who endures a fading relationship with his wife Beatrice while harboring a troubling obsession with her niece, Catherine, and a deep distrust and hatred for her lover, Rodolpho. On the surface a tale of obsession, this play as much about community and loyalty. Pulitzer-winning playwright Arthur Miller hoped to portray the lives of people living by the New York docks, from their tragic stories to the seedy corruption that punctuated their experiences, and it’s safe to say this production certainly captures these bleak nuances. The themes are uncomfortable, but it’s the kind of drama that has you gripped, unable to look away, desperately hoping it all works out in the end.

4/5

“Arthur Miller’s story of family, masculinity and immigrant struggles could seem dated but a brilliant cast bring out uncomfortably modern resonances.”

4/5

“This is a gripping revival of a Miller masterpiece – and West can take his place alongside the great past interpreters of the central role.”

Sarah Crompton,

3/5

“Aspects of the drama  – the desperation of the migrants, the shrinking nature of poverty and a man’s inability to examine his own nature – resonate, even if the specific circumstances have dated.”

It was a concert that felt as if the four of them were right there in front of us. The atmosphere in the hall was great, too. During “Dancing Queen,” we all danced and sang along.

The Gruffalo

Experience
Chloe Martin
From the moment we were welcomed to the theatre, the staff were friendly and smiley. This feels so rare nowadays and I commented to my husband how friendly everyone seemed. There were boosters for children ready at the sides- it wasn't a faff and this just made it feel calm and organised. The show itself was spectacular. The perfect length for little ones (mine was 4). I thought the cast were exceptional. I loved how they personified the book characters with inside jokes for adults and children. It had the right amount of interaction- it didn't feel like a panto but kept the children entertained just when they may have started to get restless. My whole family loved this show and we will definitely look out for more by the company in the future- thank you!

Hadestown

Experience
Rooney Vaz
The performance was really made astonishing by the use of light to illuminate certain characters in the play, creating dynamic shots between characters which helped to really set the emotional atmosphere. Furthermore, the lighting helped accentuate the impact of certain scenes making it a poignant and powerful tool for highlighting the importance of particular events.

I had been so excited to see the full version of this play as I had only seen the condensed versions, and it did not disappoint. So happy I got to see it before they change this to the condensed version.

Experience
Dhamayanti de Clonie Mac Lennan
Amazing high quality dancing and choreographys. There was a lot of interaction with the public and the boys made sure every single person had the time of their lives by giving (almost) everyone some personal attention. Very sweet dancers who love to have a little chat with you aswell when they pick you for a dance. The entire show is incredibly put together and it was not only very sexy and impressive to watch, they also included some comedy which made it even better. Definitely a night to never forget!
