    Excellent

    The accessible toilet is by the entrance. It is spacious and clean. It had grab rails and an emergency cord that reaches towards the ground. It also had the Euan's Guide red cord card that I put up in September 2018.

    Excellent

    Apart from checking tickets I didn't interact with the staff. There was no interval for the performance.

    Additional Information

    The theatre is following covid precautions regarding cleaning, etc. However, most people were not wearing a mask in the theatre. I was sitting on the step free front row, so it's based on my observations as people walked in. The theatre is charming and welcoming. I visited to see a production of Agatha Christie's The Stranger and it was excellent. The theatre is an annual fixture for the Agatha Christie Festival and I look forward to visiting again next year.
