Beta Testing with the Circus Geeks takes you on a journey of life’s hang-ups

A live performance of Gilbert & Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore at the Yeovil Octagon
Having um’d and ur’d for days about buying a ticket to see HMS Pinafore at the Octagon Yeovil, I stopped procrastinating and booked my ticket. I felt quite excited (my ‘going-out’ days having been severely restricted since having children!). The … Continue reading
