Have season tickets so see most performances here. Quality of acting really good and good variety of genre. Theatre itself need some improvement but this is due to be carried out this next season.
Bar good but prices here are really high!

I throughly enjoyed watching Hamlet at the Octagon Theatre, on a very freezing cold afternoon, with a depleted audience All the cast were extremely good, a very high standard, and no weak link! David Rcardo-Pearce however was mesmerising, and extremely engaging. I loved it! I love Shakespeare but, this was the fist time I have seen Hamlet. Definitely good direction from David Thacker.

Rather bizarrely, I thought, the production began with an announcement that the actor playing Jane was ill and would be played by someone else.Unfortunately this person didn`t know the part so spent the entire play wandering about reading from a script.I found this so off putting that the whole experience was spoilt for me and I came away feeling disappointed and more than a little cheated.

We went to see the recent production of Jane eyre with colleagues. Initially i (ashamedly so!) was a bit sceptical, having never visited this theatre before, and having seen some rubbish in ‘local theatres’. How wrong I was! This was an excellently scripted, beautifully acted play- the minimalist stage was perfect and it was simply brilliant. I would love to go and watch something here again and recommended it to people since. Simply marvellous!

This is one of the friendliest theatres in the North West. The staff go out of their way to help you. The tickets are really reasonable, in terms of price.

I saw Jane Eyre today at a matinee and the views are great wherever you sit, as the venue is small. You can book a table and dine here before the show. But, do book as it always gets packed.

Jane Eyre is an earthy production, which is incredibly well acted. The small cast fill the stage. The sound design is perfect and Michael Peavoy and Jessica Baglow are both brilliant, as Rochester and Jane Eyre.

The seats are comfortable, and air con is coming soon. It is hot inside the auditorium, so this will be really welcome.

If you like a theatre company that takes risks and shows classics, get to the Octagon. It is a great place and a great space.

This is such a lovely welcoming place. It was easy to book the performance and when we arrived in Bolton very easy to park. The theatre has a lovely cafe/restaurant with a very lovely atmosphere. The seating was great and a superb cast that portrayed the story of Jayne Eyre adapted from Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel with care and feeling. The theatre has a lovely personal feel. Thank you.
