Nice intimate old theatre in need of a refurb. We sat in the balcony with good raking but old fashioned seats with not much leg room. Bar area very small.

They got the temperature all wrong last night. Everyone was taking clothes off to try to cool down. The seats have virtually no let room at all. Poor.

The bar was very small with very few seats so best not to arrive to early as there's no where to sit while you wait for the auditorium to open. Not the most lavish production we have ever seen but go and enjoy it for what it is.…
