50 Years of Mikron Theatre Company

2022 sees the Golden Anniversary of Mikron Theatre Company, a group of travelling players based in Marsden, high up in the Pennines near Huddersfield. Mikron, whose name is a contraction of Mike (Lucas) and Ron (Legge), who founded the company, takes theatre right back to its roots when travelling players would arrive at a village…

Raising Agents – 100 Years of the W.I. at Holbeck W.M.C.

2022 sees Mikron Theatre Company celebrate their 50th Anniversary, and what better way to get things rolling than by reviving the 2015 production of Raising Agents, a play marking 100 years of the W.I. The company specialise in performing in venues not normally associated with theatre, although Holbeck W.M.C. is no stranger to putting on…

Hedwig And The Angry Inch at Leeds Playhouse

Hedwig And The Angry Inch is a show which works on so many levels. It is a comedy, a tragedy, a rock show, a drag act and a parable all rolled into one. It is ostensibly a story of a genderqueer musician but is a metaphor for everyone who struggles with their identity for whatever…

School of Rock – The Musical at Leeds Grand Theatre

Looking at the credits for School of Rock – The Musical, I could think of no stranger pairing to come up with for this adaptation of the 2003 film than Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber and Julian Fellowes. It just goes to show that appearances are not everything and great talent is transferrable. I must not…

Say Yes To Tess at Leeds Playhouse

At last we were able to see the World Premier of the new musical Say Yes To Tess. It was due to happen a couple of years ago but was one of the casualties of lockdown. It is the true story of an accidental female politician and, while no Evita, it was fun and just…

Cluedo at Leeds Grand Theatre

I had reason to venture into town this morning before writing my review and took the opportunity to have a look at a Cluedo box in WH Smiths. What I was looking for was the recommended age for players which turns out to be 8+. For anyone over that age then I am sure that…

Spring/Summer in Leeds 7 – Yeadon Town Hall

It is worth a trip to Yeadon just to marvel at the restoration which the Town Hall has gone through. It is not just a nip, tuck and a shot of Botox, but the full Dolly Parton. The effect is stunning both inside and out, the Town Hall that is, I am not sure that…

Spring/Summer in Leeds 4 – City Varieties Music Hall

In keeping with its original roots, the City Varieties has a host of one-night stands lined up over the coming months. There are so many of them that I would be sitting here typing until it was time to do my Autumn/Winter Previews. I have decided to take the easy way out and highlight a…

Christmas in Leeds – Part 4

What would Christmas be without a good pantomime, and what would Christmas in Leeds be without the annual Rock’n’Roll Panto at the City Varieties? Answer – Easter! Oh no it wouldn’t! This year’s offering is Beauty And The Beast, a show which more than lives up to the standard previously set. Pantomime is a really…

Winter Preview 5. Yeadon Town Hall

Time to head out of the city centre and let you know what’s in store at Yeadon Town Hall. I know it’s time because that landmark building has had its tower refurbished along with the clock faces, and the chimes now ring out once more. Add the newly repaired roof, exterior walls and stained glass…
