The Brunton @ Loretto School

Shrek: The Musical
★★★★★ Ogre-homa!
Grey February nights turn a joyous green as Mama present Shrek The Musical at Loretto School Theatre until Saturday. The tale of an ogre, a donkey and a princess rescuing one another from loneliness is brought to brilliant life in the company’s 75th anniversary production.

A Christmas Carol
★★★★★ Ebenezer good
Forget the nursery rhymes and fairy stories, The Brunton’s panto this year has a more adult source, being an adaptation of A Christmas Carol: Charles Dickens’s beloved tale of greed, ghosts and redemption.

The Addams Family
★★★☆☆ It really is a scream
America’s funniest family of wacky weirdos – sorry, Munsters – rise again as Loretto Theatre hosts the Brunton’s Youth programme production of The Addams Family.
