A full cast photo from last nights final dress rehearsal.
No spoilers from us but it's worth mentioning that the audience just might want to prepare them themselves to witness tears, betrayal, anger, lust, deceit, inappropriate humour and much more in our roller coaster black comedy play.

Quiz Question No. 1 - for a free ticket to 'Hull's got talent' , where the heck did the phrase 'break a leg' originate from ?

It's not often that an amateur production receives a good luck message from an acclaimed playwright !
Richard Bean was virtually unknown when 'Pub Quiz is Life' was first premiered in 1999. Two years later, he became famous thanks to his hit show 'One Man, Two Guvnors' at the National Theatre. In his own words ;
"It's a privilege for me to have the Heald Green Theatre Company performing my play Pub Quiz is Life. I'd like to wish the cast and crew the very best for reheasa...ls and the run, and I hope that they can find a way to play the truth of it, and not worry about getting laughs, and present these characters, broken and busted though they may be, in a sympathetic and postive light. Break a leg,"
It's going to be a packed house but there are still some tickets available if you want to see it. https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/hgtctheatr e

the best nights entertainment in a long time - cried laughing

We went to watch Snow White last night and had such a wonderful time. A lovely little setting and wow the cast were all so entertaining! I have not laughed so much for a while and was crying with laughter! We took our children and both enjoyed the show greatly too! We without a doubt will be making a visit to the theatre annually! Thanks so much for a great evening! And well done to all the cast!

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight's performance of Pub Quiz is Life. Excellent characterisations, we were all waiting to see what Mabel would be wearing next. Highly recommended. �

The whole cast were brilliant. Funny lines, traditional slapstick. It had everything and all the hard work was worthwhile.

Saw April in Paris on Tuesday evening. Fantastic performance by 2 very talented actors and brilliantly directed by David Olaf Carney. It's on until Saturday so don't miss out on your last opportunity to see it.

My friend and I saw The Beauty Queen of Leenane on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The show was completely mesmerising and the two lead characters Mary Ellis and Frank Dykes had fantastic stage presence and chemistry together. I thought they both managed to bring humour to a dark play by their excellent comedy timing with the dialogue. The decision to intersperse scenes with Irish advertisements from the 90s was genius. As I myself grew up in Ireland this really helped to set the scene and gave the piece an almost claustrophobic feel as everything feels contained wihin the small spaces between the ads. The two leads really carried off the accent too which is something which can be quite difficult and the pace of the dialogue alongside the dark deadpan wit really encapsulates the Irish sense of humour. This was the first play I have seen by the Heald

Green Theatre Company but I'm looking forward to next season I won't want to miss a single show.

Lovely intimate little theatre. Fantastic two person show. Very funny and touching. Thanks again HGTC for a great evening.

Last night watched Jack and the beanstalk. It was amazing !everything a panto should be:full of tunes and colourful characters, great sets design &loads of laughs and audience singing along ..Well done everyone

Just watched Snow White with our 6 yr old grandson and we all loved it! All the cast were brilliant! A great night thank you all

Just home from Jack and the beanstalk. All the main characters were fabulous and it was a great, traditional pantomime....lots of laughs and audience participation...oh yes it was! Highly recommended. Well done everyone x

Fab funny production, loved it. Great act.

Catch 'April In Paris' - saw it tonight and laughed throughout! Excellent performances and an imaginative and distinctive set design. Hugely entertaining, on till Saturday 28th April.

Brilliant! Went with our 3 grandchildren yesterday, we all enjoyed it. We are going to have to borrow children when the girls get too big! Thank you.

Brilliant performance tonight

- such a laugh

BRILLIANT pantomime as always....thanks to everyone (cast and all of the hard working behind the scenes members!) for such an enjoyable evening! ���

As a member, the theatre has offered me some fantastic opportunities to perform in some really interesting plays. It's been such a great way to indulge my passion for theatre and acting that I've been a member for nearly 18 years (starting off in the youth theatre when I was at school). I've made some great friends along the way too.

Anyone off to the panto today or tomorrow - you are in for a treat!! Fantastic performance last night - well done to all those involved on and off stage - can't wait to see it again tomorrow!! Xx ��

An excellent theatre company in their own characterful and very welcoming theatre. I have seen many varied productions at Heald Green Theatre, all of which have been very creative and professional! I have no hesitation in recommending this theatre and its own highly talented theatre company!

An absolutely fantastic performance tonight... light and dark and covering so many aspects of the highs and lows of real life in Hull...congratulations and well done to you all!...

A little gem of a place and the performances by the youth theatre at last nights showcase were amazing. Just fabulous!!�
