Somewhere between North Carolina and Oklahoma, we find Violet, a young woman who was facially disfigured as a child. She hopes her life savings will bring her a miracle halfway across the country. Reflecting on her childhood, and shaped by the reactions of the people she encounters, Violet embarks on a life-changing personal journey.

 

Special notes

Due to the nature of the staging of Violet no latecomers will be admitted and there is no re-admittance once the performance has started.

Great story

Christine

Impressive performances by all. Unique theatre setting. Music sound level was slightly too loud for comfort but perhaps this was where we were sitting. Row C

Guy Johnson

Great play and atmosphere... Downside :barstaff before the play were uninterested and appeared bored, bordering on rude which spoilt the evening somewhat.

I had not been to this theatre before and was intrigued by the layout, seats on both sides of a central stage / floor area with revolving stage. Well lit and minimal scenery. Musical was excellent with a talented cast. Fast paced and the 140minutes with no interval flow past. Would recommend it.

Michelle Anderson

Ok but won't be going again.

Liz White

This was a lively and entertaining play. I thought the cast were excellent, acting and singing. I would certainly recommend this production. I particularly liked the staging making us close to the "action".

Joy Barran

Amazing production at such a small venue. So impressed with the show I've been twice and wouldn't mind a third visit
