   My daughter and I saw Frankenstein on a Budget. It was a fantastic two person production. The age rating is 14+ but it really depends on the child. There were a few sexual innuendos, but my daughter missed those, a bit of swearing, but she hears that all the time, and the rest was just a wonderful and hilarious show. The theatre was small but comfortable. It was nice to see a play in such an intimate theatre.

   Entrance to place is hard to find. There should be signs, especially as on the right side there are multiple restaurants so its hard to find small signs. First I was on the wrong side of the road, then when I was finally on the right side, I had to past TWO doors before getting to the actual entrance (I went up to the staff one, thankfully that was during my piggy run).

   Very fortunate to get tickets for this amazing production of A View From The Bridge. Incredibly powerful performances by Dominic West and the whole cast. Left a deep impression. Thank you to everyone involved.

   Saw Good Bye Mr Haffman. From start to finish a fantastic experience very moving thought provoking and funny to boot. All the actors made this play come alive. Nice theatre sat in the stalls third row and had a good clear view of every thing. Sell out every seat taken great atmosphere.

   Interesting 2- hander play, Charlotte and Theodore with Kris Marshall and Eve Ponsonby. Funny, dramatic and finally sad. Padded bench type seating. Not the best for long legs. Very intimate theatre.

   Small theatre, but it's nice to be so close to the stage. Word of warning though, the circle is quite steep, if you don't like heights you may struggle.

   This was our first and last visit to the Ustinov Studios. I booked seats in the circle not realising how cramped they were. My husband is 6ft 3 and I'm 5ft 2. My husband's back was playing up before the end of the 2nd act and I was in severe pain with mine. We were both so uncomfortable that we left before the 3rd act. So disappointed to not be able to see the final act of a rivetting and compelling play with a stellar cast. We are both in our early sixties and not quite as flexible as we were, so not a theatre for us.

   Ustinov studios were an absolute delight. I caught a performance of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf' which was just terrifically dark and witty. A great cast, who very well portrayed incredibly rich and complicated characters. As for the venue itself, it is a charming and cosy little studio, highlighting the real rawness of stage theatre, with exceptionally priced drinks and intermission treats, but if you don't like rubbing shoulders with strangers, maybe find shows that are a bit quieter in numbers. As for the accessibility, there are toilets located on a number of floors, with accessibility being on the ground level, and a lift to get to the floor seating of the studio, however there is not one to the gallery. (which I poorly choose, as it was not very well signposted on the website). The staff were extremely kind, patient and helpful in this matter, taking the time to listen to feedback and concerns and genuinely asking how they could better improve the experiences of those visiting. All in all, a great experience and I will definitely be visiting again.

   Fantastic little venue, which is a part of and behind the Theatre Royal. Been here once before and will definitely be back again. Great staff and shows that are intimate!
