October 22, 20187 yr Im at the stadium tonight to watch the play 'And Did Those Feet'. I went to the Octagon to watch it a few years ago and was glad i did, superb it was. Did any of you lot go to the opening night last night? https://octagonbolton.co.uk/whats-on/theatre/and-did-those-feet/ Edited October 22, 20187 yr by Breightmet Boy
October 23, 20187 yr I was there on Monday. Fantastic production, Wanderers interest but lots of tears from the audience as the personal side hit home. Great performances & very moving. A good night out.
October 23, 20187 yr Author I loved it, some fabulous acting in it. Just a bit of advice, take your beer if your going, £4 for a small Coirs bottle, Big mixture of young and old watching this, loads with scarfs and shirts on, made it feel proper Bolton :-) Edited October 23, 20187 yr by Breightmet Boy
October 23, 20187 yr Les Smith was one of the wife's lecturers at Bolton Uni. We hijacked then end of a few of their 1 to 1 meeting chatting wanderers. Not actually seen the full play yet though.

Haha.
October 23, 20187 yr can you take your own beer in? - I presume that's not a thing that people actually do
October 23, 20187 yr I do (but it’s an m&s GnT obviously) nice to see this arts council funded theatre in the community is working, long may it continue when the Octogan returns to its venue. It’s sad to see Elizabeth Newman leave next year as she has been instrumental in making the Octogan be more a part of the community and for it to be from Bolton.
October 23, 20187 yr Went with my lad last night after we both saw it in 2007. Superb production enhanced by the small intimate venue I thought. Downsides £4.50 for a placky bottle of cider and LoV seats aren't designed to be sat on for long periods!!

I know that it is a tradition to spell names incorrectly on here, but I did not expect you to misspell Octagon!

October 25, 20187 yr Nice to hear that people have enjoyed the show. I did the sound design on the two previous shows as I worked at the octagon at the time. Was really pleased when they asked me back to do this version at the stadium, especially as I’m a big fan and season ticket holder. Hope more of you all get to go, it’s a great show.
