If you love the irreverent mythology of Percy Jackson, the glorious chaos of The Play That Goes Wrong, the camp excess of The Rocky Horror Show, and the anarchic humour of Mel Brooks, then Oh Zeus! by La Navet Bete is an absolute must-see. Set amongst the squabbling gods of Olympus, the story follows Hebe, daughter of Zeus, as she prepares to marry a mortal hotel owner named Greg. While Hera wholeheartedly supports the union—largely because it infuriates her husband—Zeus is d

“Murder, mayhem and mischief abound as Midsomer Murders proves delightfully deadly on stage.” There is something wonderfully comforting about Midsomer Murders. Perhaps it is the idyllic English villages, perhaps the gloriously eccentric characters, or perhaps simply the knowledge that no village fête, garden society or parish meeting is ever more than moments away from a grisly murder. At Darlington Hippodrome, Caroline Graham’s Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger’s Drif

A Dazzling Triumph of Wit and Romance Last night’s performance of Shakespeare in Love by The Castle Players was nothing short of magical—a joyful, poignant, and sharply delivered celebration of theatre, love, and the enduring power of storytelling. A return to open air performances, The Castle Players have thrown off the shackles of Bowes Museum and are taking this show 'on the road' - making it all the more accessible and putting the 'community' back into the heart of the pe

Possibly the most brilliant, barmy & bonkers show I’ve seen since…. Blair was Prime Minister. Melding the madness of Harry Hill (Book) and the brilliance of Steve Brown (Music & Lyrics) Tony! Is the story of Anthony Charles Lynton (yes Lynton) Blair as he begins his stardom in a college rock group, progresses through the ranks of lowly Labour Party member to party leader and then on to the self-appointed saviour of the free world. Along the way we are treated to insights int

"Sister Act is Fabulous Baby!” By Vicky - NorthEastKids I grew up watching Sister Act the movie so I was very excited to see it for the first time on the stage. Opening night of any show is always a special one to go to and this was no exception, the atmosphere was bouncing and looking around the theatre it was evident that this show was loved by all walks of life, with a very diverse audience. Very like the film, the show follows the story of Deloris Van Cartier as she hides

Remember to “wash yer han’s an face be-four yer com” to the best slice of fun this Spring. Returning to the stage after a hiatus of what feels like ages, My Fair Lady is the quintessential musical with all the hallmarks of brilliance; wonderful costumes, brilliant score and fabulous acting. The story of a poor flower girl, plucked from the world she knows and thrust into the higher echelons of middle class has led to countless movie remakes including Trading Places, She’s All

After a critically acclaimed season at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, one man show superstar Brendan Murphy is bringing his brand new show – Buffy Revamped to the Darlington Hippodrome for one night only on January 25th. In this fast-paced new production Murphy brings the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike. Created by comedian Brendan Murphy whose last show, FRIEND (Th

This year’s Billingham Forum panto is Beauty and the Beast, written & directed by Liam Mellor (who also plays Loopy Louie). Liam is possibly the hardest working person in panto with more years’ credits to his name than his tender age would suggest possible. His formula for great panto is to ensure the audience get what they expect and boy he doesn’t let anyone down; fantastic dancing, tick, great choice of songs, tick, villainous anti-hero, tick, daft sidekicks, tick, large

On the 100th anniversary of the BBC there was perhaps no better show to watch than the brilliant Spike, written by Ian Hislop & Nick Newman and directed by Paul Hart. Spike is a piece of genius comedy writing, perfectly performed and as timeless as the original. Stepping us back into the early life of Terence Alan Milligan, Spike to everyone who knew him, we are given an insight into Milligan’s army life in WW2, the shellshock he suffered while storming Monte Cassino and his
