Reviews of New Fortune Theatre
"Having a hearing problem I sat in the front row. Thankfully the weather was great. I could easily hear all conversations and had the added enjoyment of having significant head movement that only a stage allowed. I immediately knew I was not in a film theatre. During the play I was watching I could contemplate the stars which ended when the moon rose behind the stage. Great nights entertainment. Parking was ample and the open access appeared wheelchair accessible. The refreshments at the front was amateurish but satisfactory. You could take alcohol into the venue, I have discovered a wonderful building and entertainment centre thank you. Mick Hadley."
"Shakespearean play, well attended and directed."

"Gorgeous theatre and space. The peafowls who live there supply plenty of entertainment, but if that isn't what you're looking for try coming to see one of the Shakespeare readings!"
"The New Fortune is an open air performance theatre space. It's the only one in the southern hemisphere based on the Globe theatre in London. It's a magical space to perform in, especially Shakespeare and it comes with a set of peacocks who roam the space too."
