Many thanks to Stuart for this update:
We went to the opening night 19th November and stayed overnight at the Seaton Lane Inn, Seaham, County Durham SR7 0LP tel 0191 581 2038, a delightful Inn with excellent accommodation and most comfortable beds, this is owned by the brother of Joanne Jewitt, Adrian Marshall. It was only 7 miles from the Empire Theatre and the Taxi was just £10.40. A great atmosphere and great food. The journey by car was 3 hours, I had thought of running a coach but it would be probably 4 hours and therefore reconsidered that cars would be better.
