Intimate yet awesome
Was really unsure what to expect from this intimate venue, as the only seating plan when booking was confusing to say the least. As the first a several Theatre visits over a weekend, this was the venue we knew least about but the show we were most excited about seeing. It did not disappoint. Sitting in the fourth row, you really felt as if you were part of the show- those in the front row actually had the actors almost stand on their toes in parts. The curved style of the seats enables most of the audience fantastic views, although the boxes appeared to have restricted views, and there is plenty of leg room. The actors were not mic-ed up so while we could hear everything very clearly, this may have been an issue in places for people sitting further back or in one of the boxes. I would definitely return to see different shows there (nothing wrong with Fat Pig, I just prefer not to see the same show twice!) and would recommend this to anyone who wants a change from the usual big theatre shows.
