"It is a rare beast of a play that asks a community to play itself."

We caught up with @wonderfools.org to discuss the high-wire act of touring The Events. From Cumbernauld to the Trav, a new choir joins the cast in each.

Review: Beauty and the Beast – Citizens Theatre, Glasgow "Hallelujah! Lewis Hetherington’s sparkling festive adventure has teeth, and it isn’t afraid to bite." Beauty and the Beast is simply sensational.

It is funny—easily the funniest, loveliest show I’ve seen this Christmas—but mostly, it’s not afraid of the dark.

★★★★★ for a Beauty and the Beast with teeth at Citizens Theatre. A sparkling, biting festive adventure.

- The Quinntessential Review Perth Theatre defies the corporate pantosphere with a joyfully daft, narrative-led The Snow Queen. A wintry epic full of heart, humour & traditional panto craft.

It's hard to stage 'traditional' panto well in the "corporate pantosphere" era. Yet Perth Theatre have done just that. A joyfully daft, polished production with a cracking Dame, pop-song mash-ups, and genuine heart.

Why is this? The belief that #EDI is a strictly #Anglophone concept?
