Review: JB Shorts 3 - Joshua Brooks

By Philip Radcliffe

While the pub rocked on St Patrick’s night, the basement resounded to the laughter raised by six new 15-minute comedies. On flagstones underneath a brick arch, a score of actors, up close and personal, performed plays by writers who, like many of them, are better known for TV credits, especially in the soaps.

Review: Stop Messing About - The Lowry

By Natalie Anglesey

If you're expecting this show to take an autobiographical look at the career of popular comedian Kenneth Williams then you may be disappointed. But the packed house at the Quays Theatre in The Lowry loved every minute of this tribute to the outrageously camp comedian.

Review: Newton Faulkner - Manchester Apollo

By Kerri Burbidge

Newton Faulkner tends to treat his audience to an appetising female acoustic support artist and tonight it's the alluring Charlotte O’Connor.

Review: Glengarry Glen Ross - Library Theatre

By Natalie Anglesey

Which would you rather win - a shiny new Cadillac or a set of steak knives? Those are the prizes on offer for four Chicago real estate salesman. Did I mention that the other two get the sack?

Review: Star Wars In Concert - MEN Arena

By Robert Keeling

When you think of Star Wars, perhaps the first thing that always comes to mind is the films’ equally famous theme music. From that unforgettable emphatic opening blast, to the militaristic evil of the Imperial March, the much loved franchise is rife with memorable musical moments.

Worthy Winner

Dave Morrison wrote: If there is any pub that truly deserves the pub of the year award it is The Bulls Head!
