This was a wonderful production thoroughly enjoyed by all my party.However I must mention a health and safety issue.There should be hand rails to help older and less nimble patrons to come down the steps to their seats.I myself felt very unsafe and one of my party actually fell.This should be addressed and I`m surprised it hasn`t been pointed out sooner.Apart from this issue the visit was a delight.

Very comfortable theatre with good facilities. Good wheelchair access. Nice cafe and clean toilets. Convenient car park nearby. Saw Christmas Carol that I enjoyed very much.

Great theatre. Very close to the stage which makes you feel very involved.

I've visited this theatre twice in the last year - To Kill A Mockingbird in Sept 2016 and Christmas Carol in November 2017. What a fab venue. It's small, spotlessly clean and intimate. The staff are friendly and the bar isn't a rip-off.
Central to Bolton and all transport links. Hope to be back soon!

Saw ‘A Christmas Carol’ on Saturday evening with the wife - excellent, enjoyed every minute. No wonder tickets are selling fast. Well done to ALL the cast!

Great theatre. All seats have a superb view, it's small enough to feel at one with the performance and the shows have always been excellent.

A Christmas Carol was the show. Excellent cast that makes use of minimalistic scenery to entertain the audience with this iconic of tales.
This isn't a pantomime and perhaps, looking at the younger audience people misunderstood it to be.
The play was well delivered and have to state that the younger actors were exceptional, young people don't always get the praise they deserve.
A very diverse cast, Scrooge was well played and the narration to set the scenes were excellent. Good use of music and lighting. The stage being in the centre was new to me and I found it excellent.
The Theatre: In the city centre, 5 minutes walk from the train station. It is well presented with a good if not extensive, selection drinks available. There is a modest cake/coffee area on the lower level and selection of hot drinks, alcohol, sweets etc upstairs. Good toilet facilities (even though one door had a lock missing).
When booking beware that the seating area can change. The seat you thought was on the end of row could really be in the middle.
Really wonder at the logic of selling crisps in a theatre? Trying to catch the dialogue above the rustle and crunch of cheese and onion crisps is difficult.

A Christmas Carol - excellent show in the round. A very well worked presentation of the best Christmas story ever written. Go and see it.

As one of the few theatres left which shows its own productions I'd recommend a visit. It's undergoing refurbishment soon so the main site may be closed for a while

We went with friends to see The Threepenny Opera last Friday night as my birthday treat and what a treat it was. The music was great, the acting was super and the combination held the audience enthralled. We go all the time, isn't it time you went.

We're not really fans of theatre but it was my sisters birthday and theatre was how she wanted to spend it. What a surprise and what a performance of The Three Penny Opera, 1 word, FANTASTIC.
The theatre is amazing, as are the buildings that surround it, well kept and spotlessly clean. Staff here were really friendly and obliging and couldn't do enough for you.
The play itself was fantastic, the cast were very talented with a mixture of saturical and sarcastic humour. All in all an excellent evening.

Lovely venue but they've played Mark Morrison's Return of the Mack eight or nine consecutive times before and during the interval of this show. I want to rip my own ears off.
