Reviews
Went to see Christmas Carol..not quite what I expected with alot of signing for deaf viewers. As we were told it was a regular performance with no signing, I did find it distracting, but the players were very good, and Scrooge had a Fagin type feel about him and abit comedic!nnThe cafe downstairs had very slow service with one girl refusing to give any eye contact and seemed to be in abit of a daze really.
Visited here to watch A Christmas Carol and we really enjoyed it. The theatre is modern and the seating is comfortable, providing all a good view of the stage.nA Christmas Carol was performed by amazing actors, some of which were hearing impaired/deaf and communicated via BSL and the other actors used BSL intermittently throughout. This was so lovely to see, great that a show could be accessible to all, and raise awareness of communication differences.nn*My only suggestion would be to reconsider where the smoke/steam is released during the show. We sat on the front row at the right hand side and it was quite overwhelming at times, both visually and from a sensory/health point of view my mum has breathing difficulties. People sat around us were using tissue to cover their mouths and noses and an elderly gentleman sat next to me was clearly struggling as he coughed alot and eventually had to leave before the interval.
Thank you for another lovely evening, this time to see A Christmas Carol, starring Reece Dinsdale as Scrooge. Amy Leach's Scrooge is the cruel, capitalist owner of a 19th-century Leeds mill, and there are socialist messages throughout at one point, Scrooge is forced to listen to the workers who toil to make him rich, and is confronted with the fact that he does not work as hard as them.nnMr and Mrs Cratchit are performed by Deaf actors, and I loved Mrs Cratchit's takedown of Scrooge - all through BSL, but the meaning was absolutely clear to everyone!nnAnd there's a gay couple! Which shouldn't seem revolutionary, but actually it's reassuring and noteworthy to see LGBT+ representation.nnThe costumes and set were magnificent, with the smouldering mill towers as a backdrop, and a truly impressive Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.nnThe restaurant was reasonably priced and the pizzas nicely cooked. The staff all around the Playhouse were very friendly and helpful - we've forgotten the name of the gentleman who was training at Quarry 3 this evening sorry, but good luck with the induction, and what a wonderful place to work!nnThank you to the whole team for an enjoyable evening.
Wonderful plays and performances in a super space. You can get so close to the stage and performers. Spacious, comfortable bar areas.
Excellent venue offering a wide variety of performances throughout the year to to suit all ages and abilities. Food and drink available from the cafe, kitchen and bar areas. Parking available nearby but best to arrive early to guarantee a space in time for shows at busy times. Box office staff were helpful in sorting out ticket issue.
