点评:I hadn’t been here in years, but heard from a friend that there was a production on for kids over half term. Booking was easy via the website. The nearest parking is at Queens Road car park, which is about 2 minutes walk via East Street.
It’s a welcoming little venue and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. There’s a very small selection of refreshments available in the bar- note, no sweets, crisps or popcorn, only packets of nuts. This is a good thing if you wanted to wriggle out of buying unhealthy snacks for kids but might mean you choose to bring your own. Plenty of drinks to choose from. The coffee is amazing, apparently they use Anonymous Coffee (a local choice). So are the craft beers and hot chocolate. Toilets weren’t the nicest, but were clean, so I’ll forgive that.
The theatre itself is compact, with a good view from all seats. You feel so close to the action and there’s something special and very personal about the whole experience. It’s cosy in the best way. We saw a puppet show by Theo Woods of Widdershins with a glorious array of home made props. It kept the rapt attention of a young audience and had quite a dose of magic.
I need to go to more performances here, I’ll be keeping an eye on the website! It’s unique and authentic and well worth supporting.
翻译:我好几年没来这里了,但听朋友说学校假期期间这里有儿童演出。通过网站预订很方便。最近的停车场是皇后路停车场,从东街步行大约两分钟即可到达。
这是一个温馨的小剧场,所有工作人员都非常友好热情。酒吧提供的饮品种类不多——注意,没有糖果、薯片或爆米花,只有坚果。如果你想避免给孩子买不健康的零食,这倒是个好事,但可能意味着你会选择自带。饮品种类倒是很多。咖啡很棒,据说他们用的是Anonymous Coffee(当地一家咖啡品牌)。精酿啤酒和热巧克力也很不错。洗手间不算太干净,但很干净,所以我就原谅它了。
剧院本身不大,但所有座位视野都很好。你会感觉离舞台很近,整个体验非常特别,也很有个人特色。这里温馨舒适,恰到好处。我们欣赏了来自Widdershins的Theo Woods带来的木偶戏,他用一系列精美的自制道具为观众带来了一场精彩绝伦的表演。年轻的观众们看得津津有味,而且节目本身也充满了魔幻色彩。
我一定要多去看几场演出,我会密切关注他们的网站!他们的表演独具特色,原汁原味,非常值得支持。
