Excellent local theatre, very small and friendly. Diverse program with a undeniably Yorkshire flavour. I didn't realise it was so much fun to be a galley slave until we saw Ben Hur Really deserving of local support. Fantastic. Always a wonderful welcome. Access a little difficult but the staff are so friendly you never feel uncomfortable.
