Check out the link below to see an online poll on the best regional theatre in the country. I think the Crucible Theatre produces a brilliant range of stuff. There are 10 contenders for Best Regional Theatre from a bigger list and apparently it's neck & neck between Sheffield and Plymouth. Get voting and let's get some positive publicity for Sheffield!
BTW - I don't work for them!
