Been to many performances here and never seen a bad performance yet. Only a small theatre but a very good atmosphere and an enjoyable night out.

Went to see the play East is East. An Asian play that has been done as a film. Thought the film was hilarious but thought the play a lot darker. Enjoyed it immensely. Only one play now until the reburbishment. I hope the Phoenix rises from these ashes.

We enjoyed the show East is East but it was as well we have seen the film because the downside was !the sound. When an actor had their back to us we couldn't here them which spoilt it some what. Hopefully after improvements this will be better.

Fantastic and thought provoking production. The cast were totally convincing as a real family. Poignant, funny and very moving. As relevant as when it was first performed 22 years ago. A standing ovation this afternoon- well deserved

I've seen some fantastic shows here over the years. Always feel it punches well above its weight in terms of the quality of the productions on offer.

Been to this theatre many times always good performance, but have to say was disappointed yesterday as the acting was poor by the younger performers I have seen the same performance previously and thought it was excellent.
One other thing I have to mention the theatre was so uncomfortable during the performance due to no A/C uncomfortably hot I have noticed this previously same comments from other goers I heard as I was leaving.

Pretty good theatre for a town of Bolton's size. Daytime productions are for schoolchildren. Some Shakespeare, I go to those, other plays about working-class people and their problems seem popular -- Can't see how mundane problems can be that interesting myself.

It's ok but I always found that the dog's always had some kind of problem, not ideal for 1st time dog owners.

Not being a theatre luvie I really went to this not expecting much - I was wrong it was really brilliant .
The theatre itself could do with a bit of a makeover but was certainly very good if a little warm on this very cold night.
The performance was captivateing and although prob shakespeares best (argueably) was very enjoyable .
I may take in another couple of plays in the near future - prob a comedy or two .
I hope I enjoy as much as this place.
Has both a coffee bar and a drinks bar upstairs , i used the cofee bar, filter coffee is less than £2 again recomended.
