   First visit tonight. Absoloutley blown away. The place is fabulous, the food was great, the staff so accommodating and catered to my friends vegan needs. The actual theatre was brilliant and the cast were so good, talented and very funny. I could not reccomend the place enough. Excellent value for money and a wonderful place

   Saw Cinderella at the Shakespeare North Playhouse - what a fantastic show! The whole performance was an absolute joy to watch (take part in as it was a very panto!). I have never experienced a show where the performers were able to generate the kind of energy that the actors in this show did. It was extremely impressive. The stage set up based on Shakespeare’s Globe is so different to a traditional stage and brings a new dimension to the audience experience. Just brilliant! This theatre must be supported to continue this fantastic work!

   Went today to watch Cinderella with my Mum & 2 daughters (ages 3years & 6months)… I don’t know who enjoyed it most out of the 4 of us. The cast were phenomenal and I found myself in awe of small details from the cast that you wouldn’t normally notice in a massive theatre. The ushers could not have been more helpful with guiding us to our seats, showing us where different facilities were, even offering to carry the baby changing stuff I needed with me so that I could hold the baby with both arms. The Cockpit theatre itself was stunning! The VR tour doesn’t even do it justice, it’s immaculately clean and the wooden beams are just gorgeous. It feels intimate and rustic but also comfortable and modern at the same time. We will definitely be back!

   First experience at the theatre it was great. The venue was small but intimate. The suppprt staff were very supportive and recognised those individuls who need help. The play was light, funny and very interactive with the audience getting involved at every opportunity. A Memerable experience. Thank you for wonderful experience.

   First outing to the Playhouse North to see A Christmas Carol and it was so good - very funny. Really well organised venue and staff were really friendly and helpful. We had lunch in the cafe before the performance. Great value for money £7.50 for a sandwich salad and crisps - great portion sizes!! Great parking nearby with blue badge parking. Venue fairly accessible, except for some seating areas that have steps down. Some of the seating may be uncomfortable if you don’t have long legs or like a back rest - they feel more like perching stools than chairs. Definitely looking for more events to go again.

   Oh my. We are so lucky to have this. We saw A Christmas Carol, which was brilliantly done by a young cast of four. The theatre is just amazing. Now on my mailing list to go again. Lots of times. Use it or lose it.

   First time here, very nice new theatre in the style of an Elizabethan (1) theatre. Outside areas,1st floor waiting and bar area needs attention already some edging is coming away. All the doors need a good wipe down especially the toilets. The performance was due to start at 19.00 (it did) but the 1st floor bar only opened at 1830, missed opportunity to get some sales if it opened earlier. The actual auditorium is small and intimate you really feel part of the show. The seating is benches, with cushions, but only the rear rows have backs to the benches. I know it's early days but please keep on top of the maintenance and cleaning and maybe review the opening times of the food/ drink outlets.

   New theatre opened in Prescot on Saturday. Recreated as copy of the famous Globe theatre and built on top of the foundations of the original 16th century Elizabethan theatre. Fabulous wooden stage and seating in main building plus 2 outdoor performance areas. Will produce mixture of Shakespearean plays and modern theatre. Cafe and bar in main theatre. Lots of places to eat and drink in adjacent Prescot high street. Bus stops outside theatre and Prescot railway station is only 10-15 minutes walk away see

   How fantastic to have a Shakespeare playhouse for the North. Visited last night to see Johnny Vegas in conversation. I have the programme for this autumn and will be going back for sure. Well done to everyone involved in bringing this to fruition. Hopefully this will only bring good things to the area as time goes by. Lucky Prescot!
