Must See This Week In Theatre: 19th November-26th November

Orpheus Descending

Whilst being one of Tennesse William’s lesser-known plays, Orpheus Descending, still has plenty of what we love about him: a young male drifter, an unhappy Southern belle and lots of passion. Stars Imogen Stubbs as Lady Torrance.

Runs from 24^th October to 24^th November at The Royal Exchange Theatre

Student Tickets £10 or £5 on a Monday or Friday

Peter Pan

The Bolton Octagon’s family festive show this year is the timeless classic we all know and love: Peter Pan. With a talented cast of actor-musicians playing originally composed music, the show is sure to bring out the child in all of us!

Tickets £9.50-£22

Steptoe and Son

Based on the 1960’s television show of the same name, Steptoe and Son is the latest production to come from the loveliest (not to mention internationally acknowledged) theatre company you are ever like to meet: Kneehigh. The show follows grimy and grumpy Steptoe and his son as they bicker their way through two World Wars, whilst looked over by their Guardian Angel. Promises to be ‘darkly comic’ and ‘deeply moving’.  Also produced by the West Yorkshire Playhouse.

Runs from the 20^th to 24^th November at the Lowry Theatre

Tickets £6 to £22
