North East Theatre – April 2016
Considering I spend quite a lot of time at the Theatre (although not as much as I would like) I thought I would do a post each month highlighting the shows you can catch in the North East of England. I haven’t come across many blogs which feature shows in the North East and reviews of shows at either the Sunderland Empire or Theatre Royal in Newcastle come from the local papers/press.
Here is what you can catch around the North East in April!
Tues 5th-Sat 9th – Oliver! (Amateur Production, Tyne Theatre and Opera House)
Sat 9th –Patricia Routledge In Conversation With Edward Seckerson (Customs House/South Shields)
This is something I am looking to get a ticket for as I think it will be really interesting to see the legend that is Mrs Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances talking about her career etc!
