Reviews/Comments

"Thank you for today's performance. The students really seemed to appreciate it, and I saw lots of animated faces when looking around the hall, in addition to the enthusiastic young people who volunteered to come up and join in. Lots of staff also commented on the success of the performance. Please keep us posted of any further productions for the future. Many thanks."
Chris Chambers, St. Ann's Secondary Special School

"Thank you so much for such a lovely performance. The children absolutely loved it and were engaged throughout. Your 2 actors were superb in their interaction with the children , the pace and delivery of the story. Please pass on my thanks to them. I really would like to book you for next year if that is possible, please?

Would you be able to come to Stroud School for the play Billy Beware. I'd like to request a theatre workshop afterwards for my Year 2 children as well. I know it is far in advance, but would you be able to pencil us in please. I have spoken to my Key Stage 2 colleague and passed on your information to him, I would envisage this being a yearly event from now onwards with a rotation of the plays that you do for younger children over the years. Thank you once again and Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2009."

"Thanks for a lovely show... The Hare and the Tortoise... just the right length, just the right amount of audience participation and a message that made its point without being preachy. The actors were skilled, energetic and totally professional. We all had an enjoyable time and I hope the performers... Mike and Karen... did too!"
Lesley Mills, Devizes Festival

"Many thanks to your team who came to us at Woodside Primary this morning to perform the Hare and the Tortoise. We take the option of bringing theatre in for our foundation stage children whilst the rest of the school visit a local pantomime, and we have been delighted over the past couple of years by the energy and professionalism of your productions. The children had so much fun today! Well done, and see you next year..."
