John Archer
Walker Theatre
Sunday March 1st 2020
It wasn’t a full Walker Theatre that awaited the comedy Magician John Archer. One of the very few magicians to fool Penn And Teller and with his doing so well on Britain’s Got Talent, the audience were looking forward to being both mystified and entertained and by the reaction at the end of his show? He did please the Shrewsbury Crowd....

Vamos Theatre
Dead Good
Walker Theatre
27th-28th February 2020
There’s a well known theatrical expression called Triple Threat. It loosely translates to somebody who can dance sing and act. However I in a totally subjective way, will attach the non de plume to Vamos Theatre, not just because they can probably do all of those things in abundance: No I have seen three of their shows and three times...

The Pitmen Poets,
Walker Theatre,
Wednesday 30th November 2019
If you were around pre-Nineteen Eighty Four you will be very much aware of how mining and mining communities were the very backbone to our existence. They kept us warm and illuminated. You might also be aware that that date is one of the most crucial dates in our industrial heritage. It was the year that the miners stood firm against...

Chickenshed Theatre Presents
Mr. Stink
Walker Theatre
Monday 29th July
There is a story that we all encounter as youngsters called the “Emperor’s New Clothes,” the big reveal is that just because he was the Emperor no one would criticise him. Consequently until an innocent boy points out the Emperor is naked, no one would say a word. Is David Walliams the new Emperor and this show really his raw...

The Bob Dylan Story
Walker Theatre
Saturday June 8th 2019
It was encouraging to see the Walker Theatre sold out, one knows something good is about to go down. Tonight one was not disappointed as something big did go down. The Bob Dylan Story. Led by Bill Lennon as Bob himself, the hits just kept on coming and something big certainly went down.
There aren’t enough people looking at the poetry...

Box of Tricks Presents
Spark Plug
Walker Theatre
Thursday 7th -Friday 8th March 2019
There’s an intimacy about the space in the Walker Theatre, Actor’s are very close to their audience and a personal connection is made. In a space like Walker audience members feel they are personally being addressed. Terrifying for the actor but wholly rewarding for the audience. Spark Plug is a play that...

A Christmas Carol
Walker Theatre
12/November/2018
It is 175 years since Mr. Dickens first put quill to velum to bring us the most favourite story of our great Christmas season. A Christmas Carol. It is hard to believe that a piece of work so relevant and so fresh can be so old, but it is and for all those decades this allegorical tale of Mr. Scrooge delights and warns...

The Robin Nolan Trio
Walker Theatre
Friday October 12th
Living proof that you can improve on perfection; After a perfect start this Gypsy Jazz trio just got better and better.
Initially here’s a quick glance of the genre. Gypsy Jazz is a unique sound fusing Jazz Music with Blues with folk with pop. Played on guitars and maybe violin and trumpet, it is a fast, pacey and exciting sound. Like all...

Raymond Froggatt
Walker Theatre
Friday 18th May 2018
An evening in the company of the mercurial mind of Raymond Froggatt is an evening to be remembered. To spend time in the company of this doyen of pop music is both a privilege and a joy.
Pop sensation Raymond Froggatt came onto the stage to start the show and he appeared a little breathless. Had he run from the furthest dressing room, did the...

Vamos Theatre Company is a mask company completely at the pinnacle of their game. A few years ago they delighted Shrewsbury audience with their show “Finding Joy,” it was a show about dementia. Still unafraid of dealing with gritty human issues “A Brave Face,” is a show addressing PTSD and they have a show that speaks to everybody in a...
