    Last night we went to see Shirley Valentine at the QMT had a fantastic experience. Booking was easy peasy and at £12 per ticket great value. On arrival we presented our tickets at the door, next step was the bar again nice friendly and reasonably priced drinks no extortionate prices. The theatre itself is a nice size and a good atmosphere with great views from all the seats. The show was amazing and was a one lady show, Shirley Valentine had everyone laughing smiling all the way through a real good. The venue was totally covid safe with social distancing, one way travel throughout and helpful volunteers.
