First visit to the Octagon. We were given free tickets so seated in the gods where a safety barrier made it necessary to lean forward to watch the play. Comfortable friendly feeling about the place, and because its small you had close contact with the players. Clever how they change the scenery etc. Toilet facilities just about adequate (only two ladies toilets squashed into a tiny space). Have to say the play, a farce, was dreadful, lots of slamming doors and shouting and running up and down stairs, absolutely awful not to our taste but the tickets were given which we were grateful for. Would definitely go again, and pay, to see a more suitable play.

I have been to see several plays at the Octagon Theatre over the years but I have to say The Ancient Secret of Youth and the Five Tibetans was the worst of them all. I have never sat through 2 hours of such utter dismal rubbish. It was so bad I was in fits of laughter, best comedy by far!
I will go again but will research a little better first.

Lovely cafe, great choice of food and drinks. Friendly service, would definitely recommend for a pre- theatre meal or just a bite to eat whilst out shopping!

Saw 'Noises Off', brilliantly acted, fast paced, judging by the laughter of the audience, was enjoyed by all. A special mention to the stage crew who executed amazingly choreographed changes of scene

The Octagon Theatre is a great venue. I have seen some wonderful performances
over the last few years. I am a season ticket holder, and it has been worth every penny.
The last performance we saw was " Noises Off", which was excellent and very funny.

I have visited the Octagon theatre on several occasions over a number of years ,and have never been disappointed. No matter where you sit in the auditorium you have a clear view of the stage. The performances were outstanding both the directing & acting superb. Would definately recommend include a visit to the theatre should you be in the Greater Manchester region.

It was my first visit to the Octagon for many years, having been persuaded by a group of friends to join them. The production featured several cast members better known for their soap opera characters & guess what, they are better in the flesh. Thoroughly enjoyable night. Maybe my next visit won't be too far in the future.

What a fabulous evening performance of "Noises Off" at this great little theatre. The actors were tireless in their performances which had the audience rolling in their seats.
A very special mention to the stage staff who were even entertaining in shifting the sets around, twice, as part of the performance. It was very interesting too, so see how they do these things which are normally out of sight.
My family are regulars here. The theatre itself is very intimate and one can engage fully with the actors. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed a pre theatre dinner at the Eight bistro type restaurant, all delicious and the wait staff were helpful as well as entertaining too. Well done to all.

Enchanting, mesmerising and captivating an evening here will leave you wanting more evenings like this. The productions are slick, the seating superb and the atmosphere electric as you eagerly anticipate the show ahead. Most certainly book tickets for any production here and you will not be disappointed.
