THE REVIEWS ARE IN! 🍞✨ Critics are raving about Nigel Slater’s Toast at the Crescent Theatre! Here is what they had to say: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ “What an absolute treat... A delicious, heartfelt and thoroughly entertaining evening of theatre.” - CeeCee, Big City Radio

"It is impossible not to love somebody who makes you toast." — Nigel Slater Our first matinee audience just walked out, and the feedback has been incredible! The theatre was filled with nostalgia, laughter, and the mouth-watering scents of Nigel's childhood.

Got a secret... Can you keep it? 🤫👀 Oscar Wilde’s sharp wit gets a fresh, dramatic twist you won't want to miss.  Catch the drama, the scandals, and the laughs in A Woman of No Importance at The Crescent Theatre as part of Birmingham Comedy Festival!

Stepping onto the set of “Nigel Slater’s Toast” feels like stepping right back into the 1960s. From the warm brown wallpaper and iconic green-and-yellow kitchen to the hum of the Aga, every detail brings Nigel Slater’s childhood vividly to life.

"Every woman is a rebel..." 💥 Oscar Wilde famously wrote in A Woman of No Importance that every woman is in wild revolt against the rules imposed upon her. Part Two of our #AWomanOfImportance series features five historic rebels who refused to play by society’s script.

Oscar Wilde called her “A Woman of No Importance.” We beg to differ. 🎭✨ In a world designed to keep women in the shadows, these trailblazers tore down the rulebook-defying expectations, shaping history, and leaving an unmistakable mark.
