My husband and I went to watch east is east here and it was a fantastic experience. Not only was the show a classic and brilliantly acted out, the staff at the theatre were also just as accommodating. Highly recommended

Excellent theatre 🎭 who attract top actors every time. Now in it’s 51st year, the £10 million upgrade to will ensure it continues to compete with other world class theatre. Actors and audiences will be clamouring to return here.

This was a fantastic performance as always. My grandaughter and my family all enjoyed it.It is a brilliant theatre with very good performers. They give opportunities to young and older actors. There are not many actors in the performance but what they give their all. Fantastic!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

The Octagon is now closed for extensive rebuild/renovation (see later). Our visits there have always been highly satisfactory. Described as theatre in the round it makes you feel you are involved in the play. Even Arthur Millar's "The Crucible" had you on the edge of your seat. This summer we went to see " Summer Holiday" , part was played outside in front of the Town Hall and the rest indoors at the Octagon , the atmosphere inside electric (if you love sixties music).
The Octagon will not reopen until Autumn 2019 but they are producing shows at two other venues. Bolton W. football stadium plays "And Did Those Feet" (Oct,2018) and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (Dec 2018). Also the Albert Halls has "The Rise and Fall of Little Voice" (Feb 2019) and "The Importance of Being Earnest" (June 2019).

I have watched several shows here over the years and always enjoy the performance. The tickets are reasonably priced too compared to other theatres which is great.

And did those feet..... Have seen play before some years ago but enjoyed revisiting it. Everyone well cast in their roles. But particularly liked Martin Barass..... shouldn’t single one out should i? As they were all brilliant.
Worse part for me was the seating, i was wriggling after 2hrs even though i took my own cushion. I know its needs must during renovations so...
YOU MUST SEE THIS PRODUCTION - very emotive and managed to make me weep a few times which must have been because the actors brought the characters alive. Well done David Thacker in direction too.

Went to see "And did those feet" at the Stadium of Bolton by the cast of the Octagon - absolutely fantastic !!
A tough venue to play (while the Octagon is being refurbished) but they did a great job - Poignant just now as a central theme is the aftermath of the first world war and how the town football team's success in 1923 (the white horse final) helped heal some of the wounds from the family's that were left and look to the future .. Great job !!!!!!!! - Very well done !
