Leaving the Exeter Northcott with your mouth open after seeing a Theatre Alibi production is starting to become a regular occurrence. Curiosity Shop , which had its premiere tonight is the latest in a line of jaw-dropping productions by Exeter’s own Theatre Alibi.
A modern-day adaptation of the Dickens novel, the show blends photography, music, film and Theatre Alibi’s signature immersive performances and the end result is an utter triumph.

Exeter's Northcott Theatre has revealed to The Exeter Daily that it has a very exciting opportunity coming up for a small but dedicated group of volunteers in the New Year.

The resulting journey, part French film and part Edwardian vaudeville, takes the audience through a world of sailors, barflies and nightclub singers in a mythical European port, conjured up with all the breathtakiing invention...
Così Fan Tutte is in many ways Mozart’s most perfect opera score, and Da Ponte’s most challenging script. It is a comedy of innocence and experience, funny and unnerving, touching and satirical. The delicate balance between recognizing the posturing of the four young lovers and loving them all the same is a challenge to each director and singer.
In one day fiancés are parted, and new fiancés found – or so it seems. Discovering they are not at all the people they thought they were is strange, exciting, and very embarrassing.
A must for all Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans and great family entertainment. Host Alastair Watson brings the books to life with fun activities including a Greg Heffley Draw-Along and The Wimp Wars! Quiz.
The event also includes exclusive clips of author Jeff Kinney talking about the books, his involvement in the films and showing how he draws the characters.
