    Enjoyed the teachrex show with my son! Really good. The company who delivered it was amazing! Really got the audience involved and wasn't boring! Everything was go go go which is what you want with young children, the adults giggled and joined in with helping the staff out for games etc! Was really an all round enjoyable show would definitely go again! Staff recognised sen children and really were patient and gentle. Didn't rush the audience when taking photos etc too.

    Attended for a "murder trial" play. Cast were very good, and would merit a 5. Venue was not good - bag search on arrival (why?) ; next staff member told everyone who came in "Bar that way" - with 15 minutes to the advertised start time, many may have wanted to find their seats (not helped by the young man employed to help did not know which seats were where) The start was delayed 10 minutes because people were still in the bar, then entered the hall with drinks and needed their phones to confirm their seat numbers. During the first act, around 30/40 people left the main hall to buy drinks, disrupting other paying customers by going, then returning, with drinks. The bar should be closed during the performance. The inadequacy of the toilet facilities was highlighted in the first interval when the queue in the corridor was over 30 ladies strong. Accordingly the second act was delayed by 10 minutes., the planned break of 15 minutes became 25 minutes. Nice building, good bought in performance, but poor venue.
