Review: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

. . . What happened next was truly amazing. Where the book had led me to understand Christopher’s world, the National Theatre’s production led me to feel it. Scenery, props, and soundtrack were all drafted in to assist with the creation of a whole world on stage; the world inside the protagonist’s mind.

The Gruffalo at The Lowry

The Gruffalo play (musical stage adaptation by Tall Stories) is simple but so much fun. It features a cast of three and lasts for an hour, which is long enough for the audience largely made up of the under 5’s and their parents. . . it is a brilliant Easter treat for families.

Scooby Doo The Musical at The Lowry

It’s a great piece of Easter half term entertainment for any Scooby loving kids (and adults). The audience was rapt and clearly loved every minute of it. It was a bit scary, but it wouldn’t be Scooby Doo if someone wasn’t in peril at some point.

The Seagull Review

‘The Seagull’ is a play which probes human nature, and our relationship with each other, but also with the arts and their development, so it is the perfect way for the Chris Honer to bow out as artistic director, and for the Library Theatre Company to move on under a different name at the new arts centre HOME.

The Castaways, Rambert Dance Company

‘The Castaways’ is a perfect piece of theatre. It combines all the elements that work best on stage to tell the tale. A story of humanity and what it means to be people. Dance, drama and music are flawlessly interlinked to convey this story to the audience.

Australian Dinosaurs roaming in Salford

The Lowry is probably the most family friendly theatre in Manchester. They have a huge range of shows, activities and exhibitions tailor made for families and small children. There’s plentiful parking in the shopping mall and it’s so easily accessible by public transport. This year The Lowry hosted ERTH’s Dinosaur Zoo Live show from Australia.
