Thoroughly enjoyed Do I Love You from @jgodberco at @HGtheatre I highly recommend. Stylistic Resonances with Bouncers and Teechers. Great staging, performances and of course the music. The Godber brand is stronger than ever @marthapgodber Thank you for paying a visit.

Really enjoyed the Haunting of Hill House @HGtheatre Sat beautifully in our own haunted theatre. Great performances with a suitably chilling and spooky sound scape. Well done to all involved. #Harrogatedramaticsociety

A masterpiece of UK television drama is finally getting another airing this week. Threads shows the affects and aftermath of a nuclear strike on Sheffield in the 1980's. Staring @reece_dinsdale it really is a brilliant watch. #Threads #ReeceDinsdale @BBCFOUR4 #bbc4

Extraordinary to have Harrogate's own @MaisieAdam at @HGtheatre all day performing and filming. One of the best comedy shows in my 20 years at the theatre.

We did it fully captioned & fully audio described. We did it collecting donations for Food Banks across the entire month. We did it against all odds. #Stuffed 14.25 Pleasance Courtyard One more show 🔥

Final show today #Stuffed 14.25 @ThePleasance @edfringe. I am proud. Proud we went there. Proud we took risks. Proud we were loud & angry. Proud that when told we are too loud, too angry - we dug our heels into the ground & ferociously stood for something every day. ONCE MORE!

Fringe is weird because how do I explain to someone who wasn’t there that actors imitating pigeons was one of the most devastating things I’ve ever seen 😭

And @HGtheatre hosts a vibrant programme across Harrogate including the Royal Hall and Harrogate Convention Centre. Read about their venues and their fantastic Creative Engagement and Artistic Development programmes: harrogatetheatre.co.uk/about… Great to have you all on board! (3/3)
