Henning Wehn is German. If you weren’t aware then (where have you been?) you will be very soon after the start of his latest show Eins, Zwei, DIY. And no one can blame the comedian for making the most of coming from a country with –allegedly – no sense of humour. And as he freely admits, he ‘German’s it up’ […]

Review: Vienna Festival Ballet’s Coppelia, The Place @ Oakengates

13 Oct 2015

by Dani Wozencroft

After a long day at work the thought of relaxing to enjoy the ballet at The Place, Oakengates Theatre, in Telford, was a comforting one. Of course, not before fighting through rush hour traffic, rushing to cook something vaguely edible, eating as much as I could of the vaguely edible food, hot-footing it to the theatre and hunting for a car […]

Emma – still loved, centuries on

10 Oct 2015

by Dani Wozencroft

“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 […]

Theatre Severn’s Peter Pan named a record breaker – Oh yes it is!

I said it last year and the year before that and the year before that and I’ll say it again this year – it was fabulous. Of course I am referring to Theatre Severn’s Christmas panto Peter Pan.

A night at the opera proves a laugh out loud event

03 Jun 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Rhea Alton For many the Marriage of Figaro is the greatest opera ever written…or so the internet tells me. Mozart wrote it when he was 29 years old, an opera that uses comedy and pathos to highlight aristocratic power – a hot topic on the eve of the French revolution. For me The Marriage of Figaro was my first […]

Peppa had a splashing time at Theatre Severn… and the two boys did too.

20 Mar 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman Being a mother to a four-year-old and a two-year-old my husband and I can’t pass any Peppa Pig toys or promotional material without an “I want” from one of them. So when producers of Peppa Pig’s Big Splash live show announced it was arriving at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn I knew it was a show I would not […]

Pop-up Italian – the perfect night out.

12 Mar 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lorna McCann I don’t get the chance to go out much these days as I’m sure is the case with most parents who have young children. So, when Sofood! announced they were going to host a pop-up Italian night on February 28th it seemed like the perfect excuse to draft in the babysitters and join the rest of the […]

Just call me Julia…

19 Feb 2014

by Rhea Alton

Well, my first visit to the opera was a success. I really enjoyed it and Katherine Jenkins can be safe in the knowledge that people of all shapes and sizes were alongside me in the seats at Theatre Severn so Shrewsbury is sharing the opera with all genders and all ages. I went in with a mind full of Julia […]

17 Feb 2014
