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...

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...

Nicholas Collett Productions
Your Bard
The Walker Theatre
22nd September 2017
Making a welcome return back to Theatre Severn’s Walker Theatre this evening was the highly uncluttered and totally watchable Nicholas Collett. Your Bard, is as you may well have worked out, a play about the life of Shakespeare and how he came to write his plays…or did he?
The opening paragraph of this review declared...

The Amazing Bubbleman
The Walker Theatre
Sunday 9th April
When someone refers to themselves as amazing it is either in ironic context and they aren’t remotely amazing at anything, or they literally are amazing. The latter refers to The Amazing Bubble man. There is no irony in this nomenclature he is amazing.
From out of Berkley, California the Amazing Bubble Man (ABM) presents a show like you...

The Christians
Walker Theatre
Friday 7th April
There is always delight in watching a band that has been around since the mid-eighties, rocking as any band of today should. The Christian’s who were back for their second time at Walker Theatre without doubt, proved they are one such band. From the average age of the audience one wouldn’t imagine there to be too many novices at Christian...

Forget Me Not
Rob Gee
Walker Theatre
23 March 2017
If it was Mr Gee’s aim to confuse us as much as his characters appeared to be in this one man show, he was highly successful. However one is certain that the confusion occurred more by accident than good management.
The show is billed as part social commentary, park black comedy and part Cluedo. Confused? You will be. The story follows an ex-...
