The Crescent Theatre’s 2008-09 season finishes this Sunday with the final show of The Taming of the Shrew at Harvington Hall, so attentions are turning towards next year – not least in terms of Marketing.

As the prison season draws to a close, I would like to make one last request for anyone who hasn’t yet seen either Kiss of the Spiderwoman or IRON, to book your tickets now.
Kiss is on tonight, Thursday 9th July and Saturday 11th July both performances commencing at 7.45pm. IRON is on Friday 10th July at 7.45pm and on Saturday afternoon at 2.45pm. This is your last chance to see two very different but equally compelling productions.

As the review concludes, the show finishes its residency at Birmingham’s Botanical Gardens tonight, then moves to Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens on Saturday, and, in a new destination for the tour, to St. Nicolas Place next Tuesday and Wednesday.
