“Fab Theatre”

Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

Which is excellent for those of us on a tight budget :o). Excellent range of productions. Good shows, comfortable seats, good prices, well stocked bar, what more can... More

“Rock and Roll panto”

Reviewed 30 April 2012

Always excellent entertainment, even for the ones who are far too young to ever have known that period of music. It just shows how excellent a music period Rock and Roll was (and still is) More

“Bedroom Farce = Comedy Gold”

Reviewed 26 April 2012

My family and I went to see Beddroom Farce last week and it's one of the most funniest shows we've ever seen. We were sitting in the second row so it gave us a real intimate feel to the performance. The cast played their roles perfectly and there wasn't a dull moment. Already we want to go again. As far... More

“Super, Intimate Theatre @newwolsey”

Reviewed 25 April 2012

The New Wolsey is one of the brightest spots in Ipswich - a great place to watch a range of professional theatre (traditional, physical, musical, fringe, and more and more and more), with a few quality amateur productions too. Decent prices and great views from wherever you prefer to sit - close in or from the back. Super, comfortable facilities... More
