What's happening?

“Everybody has their level” said Mr Knightley – and at Theatre Severn the performance of Emma was on the highest level. I’d imagined a stage of antique furniture, big floral dresses and the Queen’s English – but what I enjoyed in the Walker Theatre could not have been further from that. The intimacy of the venue, the simplicity of the stage and the […]

Baroque by Candlelight in Shrewsbury

08 Oct 2015

by Rhea Alton

It was my first experience of heading into town on the dark Winter nights as I ventured out to see Baroque by Candlelight at Theatre Severn. I really enjoy watching opera and when I spotted this on the Theatre Severn line-up for 2015 I was eager to see it. When I review opera my reviews are always a little different […]

Off to the ballet, don’t you know

06 Oct 2015

by Dani Wozencroft

Next week I’m going to see the ballet. The Vienna Festival Ballet at The Place, Oakengates Theatre. It’s a production of Coppélia and the visit came about after a friend and I were discussing how often we see shows, musicals, ballet and other productions. It turns out, not very often. So I spotted this and I’m pretty excited now. The last ballet […]

Bosses at Telford Tigers have thanked a town business which has been an “unsung hero” behind the scenes during the club’s resurgence. Telford Tigers was saved from extinction by a supporters’ trust in 2008, and is now thriving under new owners, Red Hockey, with the team winning the English Premier League title last season. One of the longest-serving supporters of […]

Jane Austen comes to Theatre Severn

29 Sep 2015

by Dani Wozencroft

Like many teenage girls I read Pride and Prejudice, I watched the film and I fell in love with Jane Austen. I then went on to read other Austen novels and watch the film adaptations – but I never had the chance to see any on the stage. So when I spotted that Emma was on at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury I […]

Choosing the right wedding dress is undoubtedly the single most difficult decision any bride-to-be will face. With that in mind most will spend hours trawling through bridal magazines, making notes on the latest celebrity weddings and visiting dozens of designer boutiques in search for the perfect dress. And newly-wed Noosha Doley was no exception accept her wedding dress inspiration didn’t […]

by Kirsty Smallman

Every office has somebody who says “yes” to everything – that person at J&PR is me! (Kirsty!) So it came as no surprise to the team that we were signed up to the Macmillan World Championship Coracle Race. So did we practice? No! Did we watch videos to learn a technique? No! Did we know what to expect? No! We […]
