Welcome to the blogsite of the Greater Manchester Reviewer!

I’m a resident of Manchester who, when not working, enjoys the city’s vibrant theatrical and musical scene. In early 2017 I entered and won a competition and found myself with 9 others on a critical writing course, the aim of which was to get people writing about theatre performances in the Greater Manchester area. Hence I decided to create this site in order to host all my reviews.

I have no particular affiliation to the arts, I don’t work in the industry and I’ve never written reviews before. I’m hoping that I can provide an “ordinary” person’s view on things. My motivation for going to the theatre / gigs has always been to be entertained at a reasonable price, so this is the fundamental assessment that I’ll be looking to make. I hope it’s of use/interest to you!
