End August with Paul Gostling production of Shrek: The Musical

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage, and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek…" And thus begins the tale .. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International

During the hot weather ...

Please be aware that our auditorium gets very warm during performances. We have taken steps to mitigate this with large portable electric fans in the foyer and bar area. Our Front of House team is available to support patrons and lessen the impact, but sadly our old building still holds heat.

We strongly advise audience members to stay hydrated, wear thin layers you can remove and alert our Front of House team if you need any assistance. Free tap water is available from the bar so you are welcome to bring refillable bottles, hand held fans or use one of our leaflets to keep cool. Otherwise recyclable cans of still water, ice-cream or other refreshments can be purchased from the bar. Your feedback is always valued, as we continue to improve our theatre.

Thank you for your understanding.
