If you have not done so already, make sure you catch one of the last few performances of The Emperor's Perfume , a sensationally smelly theatre production for ages 5+.
The famous Parfumier of the town of Sniffniff creates the best scent in the land. One day the Emperor, hearing of his smelly skills, demands that he create a new perfume, a perfume never smelt before, a perfume fit for a king, or else there will be trouble.
The Parfumier now needs your help to create the perfect pong. Together with his assistant, he needs to mix some special ingredients, and work out which...
Actor Daniel Page is loving being on stage at Exeter Corn Exchange and being hissed, booed and generally hated this Christmas, which isn’t the usual thing that professional actors hope for but in this case it’s perfectly normal as he plays Abanazer, the scheming and plotting baddie in Aladdin which runs from 15th December to 6th January.
Daniel has been all over the country as an actor and performer, but his first pantomime took place right here in Exeter. He says:
“I have only done one other professional panto before and that was last Christmas playing Friar Tuck in Robin...

Tall Stories, creators of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom , bring their latest production, The Snail and the Whale , to the theatre for a festive run on 12-30 December.

In The work between the lines, John Court’s first UK solo exhibition, new works will be shown alongside drawings and performances produced over the last fifteen years. His output includes performance, sculpture and video, but he considers all his work to be fundamentally concerned with drawing, in that drawing connects the elements of line, movement, space and time.
Exeter is about to experience a completely different kind of theatre. In You With Me , there’s no stage, no visible actors, no audience sitting comfortably. Instead, this production offers a personal, unique and totally different experience, taking participants on a journey through Exeter and guiding them on a playful adventure in which unexpected incidents cause familiar routes to be seen with fresh eyes.
Participants are asked to meet in a well-known Exeter location. They receive a phone call and the performance begins. For 45 minutes, they talk to a stranger whilst...
The World Premier of The Helena Rubinstein Story, "Powder and Paint", which has its first ever performance in Crediton, is a complete sell out.
All four performances from Wednesday through to Saturday are now full. As ticket agents for Crediton Operatic and Drama Society (CODS), we at Olivia James Design have been amazed by the response from the puplic for tickets for a brand new production.
"CODS always put on a very professional show and we know this will be no exception" I already have a waiting list for any returns. Can't wait to see the reviews. Break...
As children, artists Tracy Whitbread and Hannah Stevens were both shaped and nourished by painting, crafts, stories and theatre, and as adults they want to offer these enriching and empowering activities to primary school age children in Arts workshops based around their portable mini-theatre, called the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
The idea has developed over a period of time from both artists working with children and responding to their needs. Children are given the support and space to bring the theatre alive using painting, crafts, stories, song and dance. They are committed...

The tour will help the Bike Shed develop links with other venues and national companies, raising their profile across the country.
Adapted from the short story, Pobby and Dingan , by Ben Rice, The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan will be coming to the Northcott Theatre this Sunday and is recommended for children of nine and over. The Stage said of it "This Tasmanian writer has a quirky, audacious, wonderfully unfettered way of looking at life'.
The storyline is based around Kellyanne’s best friends, Pobby and Dingan. Her big brother Ashmol hates them. They’re invisible and they make her act weird. Everyone thinks she’s a fruitloop and it’s no fun having a fruitloop for a sister in Lightning Ridge....
