17th-20th July

Studio Theatre, mac

"Hooray for the shop of horrors! This is a bubbling, bright-eyed production involving a team of nearly 200 youngsters, most of them put on stage! It delivers a succession of pulsating numbers with disciplined aplomb, the fizz flourishing as irresistibly as ever. Craig Painting excels as the memorably mad dentist and Tom Darvill (Seymour) and Catherine Skinner (Audrey) are an extremely pleasing central pairing; the message of Liz Light's production came through loud and clear; this is a fine show. The man-eating plant is a pleasure in its own right." Evening Mail
