Mark Steel’s In Town
Visiting Company
Following his highly acclaimed, Sony Award winning and Writers Guild Award winning Radio 4 comedy show Mark Steel’s In Town, and the publication of a book of the same title, writer and stand-up comedian Mark Steel is back on the road - part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Bringing an element of Mark Steel’s In Town to each live performance, means Mark will write material shedding light on the quirkiness and interesting aspects of every town and city he visits, allowing each show to be unique - something local audiences up and down the country will devour and enjoy. Mark is committed to performing a routine about the history of every town he’ll perform in. However, he may regret making this promise!
As well as Mark Steel’s In Town, Mark has presented the BAFTA nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC2, is a regular on BBC One’s Have I Got News For You and Radio 4’s Newsquiz. He’s written several, acclaimed books, including: Reasons To Be Cheerful and What’s Going On and he writes a weekly column for The Independent.

Hi Kenny, I'm afraid Levels 3 and 4 are now sold out. In future we always ask you to contact Box Office directly for up-to-date availability. There is space left in levels 1 and 2.

This is simply wonderful. The cast are fantastic. My four and five year old were captivated for the full performance (trust me that is a hard job to do). Hansel was adorable. After going to the Citzens Theatre at Christmas, I will never go elsewhere again. I would highly recommend this to everyone, young and old.

We saw this last night and absolutely loved it. Very professional production in terms of the design, direction, set and wonderful performances from all the cast. Excellent songs and musicianship too. An exciting, moving and memorable evening - thank you very much!

Delightful performance! The actors dealt with brio with extremely interactive kids as you like to see them be in these types of play. Well done! On a slightly negative note, the room was quite small and got a bit stuffy at the end. Overall, a very good show for wee ones. I'll definitely recommend it.

Hi Bryony, It is a real shame to not have weekday matinees. We did look into this at the time of planning the season, but due to uncontrollable scheduling issues, we can't offer them. We are still very hopeful that classes will join us for some evening performances. You can see the Education Programe here: http://bit.ly/LearEducation

Hi Patricia, Due to the length (2 hours inc interval) and the sometimes scary story, we recommend 5+ for Hansel and Gretel; so yes, Little Ulla would be more appropriate as it was created for 3-5s. It's totally up to individula families to decide, but I think Little Ulla would be a safe option.

Hi, Is the production suitable for a four year old - or would Little Ula be a better choice? Thanks.

Just been to see Hansel & Gretel what a Fantastic show the story line was excellent and delivered by a wonderful cast. It was Scary, Funny, and had the kids and adults alike, gripped to their seats. The Witch " Vanya" stole the show for us her acting was a delight and her singing "Out of this World" cant believe this was her 1st professional debut and we look forward to hearing much more of her 2012. Well done Citizens Theatre once again a truly enjoyable evenings entertainment and the Mac Namara family think you have found a a True Star in Jennifer Harraghy.

Absolutely loved this show. From the minute he walked into the studio, my sometimes retiscent 3 year old was clearly captivated. He laughed and shouted and clapped and sang all the way through. Thank you for starting our Christmas off so beautifully. Highly recommended!
