December 2023Amazing theatre! Great staff experience all round, both front of house and backstage! I was lucky enough to call this my home for 2 months while we perform at the Pantomime. The best facilities and very forward thinking. We enjoyed performing a few relaxed performances to make it more accessible, including BSL, audio described and a touch tour! Amazing theatre 👏🏽✨

January 2024Attended for the Panto. Change vs the normal location, but this is an excellent theatre. Legroom is good, bars well serviced and audio internally are great Secondly the cast for the Peter Pan pantomime blew it out the park! Excellent show all round, everyone should be proud of their efforts, ultimately showcasing a highly talented delivery of Scottish humour.

February 2024I went to see 'Karl Marx in London' and saw festival theatre for the first time. We were on the stalls and it was decent.
