One of the things I always do at the theatre is to make sure my mobile phone is switched off.
So, it felt a little strange to be at a performance at The Crewe Lyceum which not only encouraged the audience to keep their phones on, but also to use them during the show.

I’ve been a fan of Fawlty Towers for as long as I can remember.
So, when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance to attend the Fawlty Towers dining experience at Crewe Lyceum.

On a cold, dark winter’s day, what could be better than to escape somewhere magical?
Thanks to Nantwich Players, I did just that when I watched their latest production of The Secret Garden this week.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
