THINGS WE CAN’T WAIT TO DO IN SHEFF: #5 VISIT THE THEATRE 🎭 ![]()
![]()
Even by their usually high standards, Sheffield Theatres were on one hell of a roll pre-pandemic. Innovative productions of Standing at Sky’s Edge, Coriolanus and Julius Caesar wowed sell-out crowds at The Crucible Theatre, while it was non-stop party time next door at the Lyceum with the award-winning Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Mamma Mia and Guys & Dolls taking centre-stage. Down in the cosy confines of The Studio the smaller-budget plays were packing a punch, and biting social commentary from the likes of Steel, Chicken Soup and What We Wished For showcased exciting work from up-and-coming northern writers Chris Bush and Kieran Knowles.![]()

Thankfully, the largest theatre complex outside of London has managed to weather the storm and will be there to welcome us back once they can safely reopen their doors. Plenty of performance venues haven’t been so lucky, however, so make sure to check in on your local theatres too when restrictions are lifted.
