Wednesday 23rd March 2022 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As You Like It is a tricky comedy to stage. It’s rich with famous Shakespearean gems and some great characters, but it’s also labyrinthian in places and it’s certainly one of the more overly generous of Will’s plays in terms of running time, which makes it...

Tuesday 22nd March 2022 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ First a humble board game (a creation of Anthony Pratt), then a film, and now a play - it’s been quite a journey for the classic “Whodunnit?” pastime. This latest instalment in its history very much takes its cue from the likes of... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 28th September 2021 at the Grand Theatre and Opera House, York. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mischief Comedy’s Olivier Award-winning show, The Play That Goes Wrong, is out on tour - and it’s certainly proving its position as an Olivier-winner. It’s farce at its best: a perfected illusion of spontaneous action which is as impressive in its precision... Continue Reading →

Tuesday 4th February 2020 at Leeds Playhouse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absurd anarchy abounds in the best possible way in Kneehigh’s latest offering.

Wednesday 11th September 2019 at Harrogate Theatre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The 39 Steps is a comic classic by any standard. It sees a dashingly handsome Dapper Dan unwittingly caught up in a high stakes caper in which dodgy spies wear many disguises and innocent civilians like our stylish looker must go on the run (attached to an...

Wednesday 24th April 2019 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Moira Buffini’s comedy announces itself as a work of great parody as soon as HRH enters with a mischievous glint in her eye just in time to interrupt and deflate a fiery speech from Margaret Thatcher. You see, Thatcher is conspiring to get a chair brought... Continue Reading →
Monday 1st April 2019 at The Grand Theatre and Opera House, Leeds. ⭐️⭐️ In Tom Stoppard’s comedy Rough Crossing we’re taken to sea with a sparse cast of actors playing a very sparse cast of inept actors rehearsing aboard a ship. Our cast have a tall order to deliver. Although the cast are a talented... Continue Reading →
Friday 16th November 2018 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As The Lakes Season (presented by Theatre by the Lake) winds down, the energy and panache of their productions picks up with Jeeves and Wooster In Perfect Nonsense - an adaptation of P.G Wodehouse’s The Code of the Woosters from the comic minds of the Goodale...

Monday 22nd October 2018 at The Grand Theatre and Opera House, Leeds. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Like most great farces, Mischief Theatre’s The Comedy About A Bank Robbery is all very simple...until it isn’t, which happens approximately sixty seconds in. In this town, ‘everyone’s a crook’ local bank teller Ruth tells us - and she should know -... Continue Reading →
