We went to the Octagon theatre which was an excellent venue with free parking in the town centre after 6pm. I would highly recommend this venue for a night at the theatre particularly if your going by car.

Fantastic play
Price of drinks too expensive 8 quid for a wine, and lack of staff.
Poor guy serving on his own not acceptable, another member of staff to help was definitely needed.
Serving drinks at those prices especially, then asking for donations doesn't make sense.

Went to see of mice and men tonight
A fantastic production well acted
You could heat a pin drop with the atmosphere
Been disappointed with previous plays this year but this one was first class

I visited the Octagon theatre on Thursday to watch an updated spin on a classic Private Lives, well I was not disappointed! From the first second of the play to the very last i felt fully emerged in the 1930’s, it was funny, cunning and all the wonderful aspects you get with a live performance.
The best part of the whole night had to be the cast, every member brought to life the different personalities at play and were absolutely mesmerising! But an extra special mention has to go to the lead actor who played Elyot, he really was the cherry on the cake, I have doubt in my mind that he will go far. Noël Coward would be proud.
Overall a very loverly night, a great theatre with really nice staff, would 100% recommend. Would be great if someone from the theatre could please pass this onto the production team.

A compact theatre that has a warmth to it. The auditorium, being in the round, almost feels like it's giving you a hug. Front of House areas are relatively small but offer a mix of furnishings, bars and dining.

Been to this theatre a couple of time before and seen some of my favourite shows ( Bouncers being the best) and this time went to see Spitfire girls after having it recommended to us by a lovely couple sat next to us a few weeks ago at the Lowry theatre . My wife has read the book and wasn’t expecting what we saw , the acting was fantastic, it was emotional, enthralling and really drew you in to the power of the story, only 5 actors but the performance was second to none and with the change of accents ect it was easy to believe more were involved, much recommended and a lovely personal feeling theatre, shame the actors didn’t come back on at the end I’m sure they would of got a standing ovation, , really highly recommended, nearly had me in tears on 2 places - thank you to all involved I was touched, well done 👍
