We have just recently seen a play at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in the main theatre – the Quarry Theatre (named after the flats which used to occupy the site of the theatre) and we were suitable impressed with the auditorium. We were seated towards the back of the theatre off to one side, but the views were excellent as... More

I have visited the West Yorkshire Playhouse many times, both in my professional capacity as a drama teacher, and also as a 'real' audience member. On this occasion, I organised a mixed family theatre trip for my mother's 92nd birthday, with a party ranging in age from 7 to 92, to see a touring production of "Swallows and Amazons". The... More

A wide range of plays, throughout the season there will be something to suit everyone. The building itself is fine, you are there to watch the theatre, good little restaurant for a pre theatre dinner but be aware it is quite pricy for a restaurant where you queue to pick your food but in terms of location and ease of...

Took some time in the afternoon to see a great production of Godot (which I won't review here, but it was great). I thought I'd get some lunch first, but have to say that the chicken & chips was pretty dire - unseasoned, dull chicken and flaccid chips. Still, the people serving were very helpful and cheerful despite it being... More

The pre theatre dinner and the actual playhouse building as I haven't been before. The play was a poor choice but that was all that was on at the time. More

Two theater spaces in the same building and a very wide range of shows. I probably get to go there about six times a year on average and clearly the plays vary to cater for all tastes but the staging is always first rate. There's a good bar (frequented by the cast after the performance) and a self-service cafe serving... More
