The Sea Horse | Golden Goose Theatre A brutally honest love story unfolds in a dark waterfront bar between a guarded owner and a hopeful seaman. This raw, funny, and compelling play reveals that even the toughest can find connection.

Rachael Bellis plays Gertrude in "The Sea Horse" at the Golden Goose Theatre from 4th-15th November.

It's a tender, brutally honest love story of two hardened outsiders: Gertrude, a tough, guarded bar owner, & Harry, a weathered seaman with a new dream. www.goldengoosetheatre.co.uk/whatson/thes...

Back to the Future I thought was a pretty bland juke box show. Did not do it for me. Just a lot of hight tech FX
What really miffed me off was the curtain to thd exit was not pulled properly so it let in the bright light from the corridor!

Should NOT be filming the curtain call!!!

@theatretiquette.bsky.social Beginning to think Theatre Etiquette about what show you go and see. A juke box musical or play with huge'name' in. You get people mobile phones, photos. Go and see a straight play - Shakespeare or a new play without a 'name'These issues are not so much a problem

My friend from Youth Theatre days Paul Bazely was in The Seagull. Brilliant actor! I missed the show sadly because I broke my leg - gutted - but hope you enjoyed it. I love Checkov Best Wishes

Unbelievable! I have no patience in those situations! Go to a pop concert if you want to jangle your jewellery!

And the curtain call is part of the show I like to take it in and see how it is staged, it various depending on style of the production. SO NO! IT IS NOT FINE IT'S BBBBLOODY RUDE TO TAKE PHOTOS/VIDEOS AT THE CURTAIN CALL. And you should be able to remember the shoe without a video!

Curtain call NOT fine. The signs do not say - NO PHOTOGRAPHY EXCEPT AT THE CURTAIN CALL. Plus standing up to take video gives the impression the show has got a standing ovation when people are standing to see at curtain call because of the selfish people taking videos. NO πŸ‘Ž ITS NOT FINE!

There's a reason the signs are posted around theatre and the FOH hold up the signs... it isn't a suggestion πŸ™„ #TheatreEtiquette

Shouldn't be taking videos of shows. NOT EVEN THE CURTAIN CALL!

Unfortunately people cannot read! Or they can but there so selfish they do not care.
Would help if theatre staff enforced the rules!
They used to!

Can people stop recording in the middle of Much Ado... seriously I'm seeing a fair few videos of it πŸ™„ You are told not to record at the start of the show and there are plenty of posters in the theatre telling you #TheatreEtiquette

25.02.2025 08:38 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

No videos. No photos. No mobile phones. End of.

Sorry. But no. Not even quiet whispers during a show - total silence please.

Finally smart watches get a mention! I’ve sat behind people whose wrists lightup like Blackpool tower every five minutes and it’s so off-putting.

(mutters) There should be a little booth potential troublemakers have to go into and sign in blood at the queue to get in ;-)

Agreed! And my biggest pet hate - well I only videoed the curtain call!
And a standing ovation is not a standing ovation if people are having to stand up to see because other people have stood up to video the curtain call Grrrrrr

I'm not reposting the video of Cate doing the rounds but I'm disappointed in the person that recorded it. I like going to shows without knowing much if I can help it... the videos do spoil it somewhat... Do better! #TheatreEtiquette

So a little #TheatreEtiquette news from the KitKat club last night.... person to the right checked their phone during the 1st Act so obviously bright light. It would be off putting for the other audience members and the cast. Just Rude. Told FOH and stopped πŸ™‚ why spend the money to be on the phone?
