   I saw this on Friday evening and thought it was excellent. The cast portrayed their characters compellingly and the made me want to know more.

   Sometime before April 7th don't sit in watching EastEnders or Corrie, get your self a ticket to the Playhouse and see this excellent production. Its got much of the scandal and storylines of todays soaps but its so much more compelling because this was over 200 years ago. Everything about this production is superb, the acting the set, lighting and, above all, a cracking story. You need to see this play.

   It's hard to believe that this real story happened so long ago, it seems so up to date .Teenagers of today take note . The play helps you see the depths of feelings and emotions that Mary experienced in her young life -now we know why certain things were in her remarkable tale. Wonderful production everything comes together the acting,-the music, the movement -you are all swept along with the action. Do not miss it.

   We went to see "Mary Shelley" on 31st March. The play was beautifully produced and the acting was excellent. We would have very much enjoyed the evening had we not had freezing draughty air blowing down from the ceiling onto us. During the interval we eventually found a sweet young lady who was apparently in charge and we complained about the cold and said that everyone round us were also complaining. She said she couldn't do anything about it as the system was old but she got me an enormous free cofee to warm me up. Another thing. When we arrived we looked for a programme but was told that they had run out of programmes. This was a pity as we were unable to know who the actors were and the story is so interesting and fortunately I had read a little about it on the net. I think it would have been helpful to have at least a sheet of paper giving some details of the cast and the plot.

   Many thanks for your feedback from your recent visit and for drawing this matter to our attention. I would like to reassure you that the comfort of all our audience members is a priority and the temperature in the auditoriums is monitored on a daily basis. I've looked at the front of house report from Saturday 31 March where the duty manager working has noted the temperature in the auditorium was extremely cold and that the fans were switched off in the interval. Due to the size of the building and the age of our heating system unfortunately any changes to the system do not take immediate affect which may be a reason why the temperature did not improve throughout the performance. Please be assured that I will be reviewing this matter with our front of house team to help find solutions for the future.

   With regards to the lack of programmes for Mary Shelley we do have some programmes in stock - if you would like to contact info@wyp.org.uk and we can arrange for a programme to be sent out to you.

   My daughters and I saw this last night (2nd April). We didn't know Mary's story so the subject matter was new and of interest, and a revelation! All three of us enjoyed the experience. The set, the music, and the acting were superb. The interplay between the characters was well constructed; the humorous elements delivered well and appreciated by the audience. I would certainly recommend this to friends.
