A story of courage and solidarity from the Holocaust is being told at Leeds Playhouse as they stage David Greig’s Dr Korczak’s Example.
Reviewing on the Blackpool patch can be a jaw dropping experience but it can also leave you feeling a little underwhelmed at times. Luckily, 2019 has had more of the former and less of the latter for me, and I’m already salivating about what’s on the way in the New Year. What is great about the theatres here is that they attract an eclectic mix of theatrical entertainment, something which is evident when you look at my three choices!
Thanks 2019, it’s been a theatrical treat. Seventy plus shows seen this year and of the thirty I’ve reviewed for North West End UK, these are my top three:
As a theatre goer of 43 years I have seen so many wonderful productions, watching the blossoming of performers and the rise and fall of many shows.

Our Liverpool Editor, Mark Davoren lists his top three productions for 2019, in no order other than chronological:
My first few months of reviewing for North West End UK coincided beautifully with finishing my studies in Manchester and moving to London to further study. This has meant I have been blessed enough to see fantastic shows in the capital, as well as in my beloved northern home.
This year it has been lovely to see the amount of theatre companies and theatres across the North of England coming together to produce exceptionally interesting and diverse shows. These productions have been chosen because they are each exemplary of the type of theatre they represent, and because the memories associated with them are the most vivid and joyful.
