…escaping to new adventures at curtain up…
Tuesday 20th November 2018 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Mother Said I Never Should is a cross-generational story of four women dealing with a family secret.

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...

Although it sells itself as a... Continue Reading →
