Buddy,
Theatre Severn,
Tuesday 23rd May-Saturday 27th May
(Matinees most days)
When one finds it hard to leave the theatre one knows one has just seen a spectacle that will indelibly print itself on the heart and on the soul. This show is sensational. That is a superlative reserved for the top drawer. One doesn’t believe there is a chest of drawers tall enough to get all the superlatives needed,...

The Manfred’s
Theatre Severn
Wednesday 17th May
The Manfreds, celebrating 60 years of making music with a nationwide tour arrived onto Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn stage to a packed house. People expecting the sharp vocals and stage presence of Paul Jones and a bag full of singalong hits may have been surprised as that was not so, not so at all.
Instead, one watched as the band worked their way...

When English Police Detective Roy Grace goes away to France for a quiet break with his wife Cleo, baby Noah and their friend Caitlin, who could imagine that anything could go wrong in this little less than idyllic Chateau in the French Provinces? But this is Peter James and with as many twists...

The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Theatre Severn
Tuesday 4th April- Saturday 8th April
This play one should say from the start, is not an easy watch but it is an essential one. It is a story that is utterly unimaginable. It explores the devastation of war and suffering and its explosive consequences. This is theatre at it’s very best and fulfilling its most moving potential and telling a real story that...

Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Well isn’t theatre a funny old game …eh? If you have a show with one of the most creative set designs you have ever seen, actor’s like Berlinda Lang (2.4 Children) Pop singer/Actor Paul Nicholas (Just Good Friends) and Tessa Peake-Jones (Raquel in, Only Fools and...

Rocky Horror Show
Theatre Severn
Monday 6th March-Saturday 11th March
(Plus 2 weekend early evening performances)
What one wondered most about going to see the cult stage hit musical, “The Rocky Horror Show,” was, will the dressing up as characters of the show have survived with it into the provinces? One is aware of it being somewhat of a phenomenon in cities; but towns? One needn’t have...

Wodehouse In Wonderland.
Theatre Severn
February 6th - 8th
Quite often one is faced with paradoxes as reviewer. Great tunes poor lyrics, or great plot badly acted and so on. This show is a paradox in quite a different way. One was presented with an almost perfect Stanislavskian performance from a superbly skilled actor, only to see the slow plotless script bring the whole thing down.
The show...

Beauty and The Beast,
Theatre Severn
December 10th to January 8th (See Brochure)
So the fields have turned to concrete and the water into stone. Deeply ensconced in the worst winter we have had for years, Shrewsbury panto goers were warmed by the hilarity and genius of this year’s Pantomime, Beauty and The Beast. It appears laughter is as good as the central heating that we all used to be able...

The Eighties Show
Theatre Severn
Friday 18th November 2022
Ok, so the Eighties is famous for the decade that killed pop. I will stand by that by saying at the advent of the Nineties, western pop music was vacuous and manipulated by the money men. Well, it could be argued that if you hold that view you only know half the story. Yes, Eighties music was hijacked by the Hit Factory, Waterman, and...
