Audience Review

Have you seen a show at the Gatehouse Theatre or MET Studio lately?  If yes then we want to hear from you.
Why not share your experience by writing your own review of the performance and sending it into our Audience Development and Promotions Officer Becky Ward at bward@staffordbc.gov.uk , selected articles will then be published on our blog.
Here is what audience member Paul Downey thought of Circus of Horrors:
Circus of Horrors – Stafford Gatehouse Theatre – 29th February
Rocking and rolling off the Britain’s Got Talent bandwagon, the Circus of Horrors show wheeled its way to the Gatehouse theatre in all its bizarre glory.
Having missed the boat with regards to the crew’s stint on national television previously; it kind of makes me wish that I paid attention to more reality TV if it’s really this captivating.
We are warned in the introduction; that the audience will end up covered in blood and other bodily fluids; which set the tone for the show ahead.
Lead by the outspoken Dr. Haze, who comes across as a mix between an eighties rock star and an ageing Halloween enthusiast, they perform all kinds of weird and wonderful stunts ranging from body contortion to acts with a bowling ball I shall not repeat.
It’s boisterous, loud, colourful; an all singing all dancing affair that at times leaves you breathless, or on occasion with your heart in your mouth.
They save the best until last with a range of fire related acts, which proved instant crowd pleasers, and rounded off a thoroughly eventful show.
So for a captivating and alternative night out; look no further than the next tour date for the Circus of Horrors.
