Reviews

Story, acting, music and presentation was brilliant

— Tricycle Theatre, Kilburn

Wonderful. The performers were very talented musically and theatrically and the production was superb. The simplicity of props meant it was an excellent stimulus for our own work.

— The Grange School, Harlescott

The actors were fabulous, very energetic, lively and the characters really came out by their movement. Best one I've seen in a long time!!

— Belmont Arts Centre, Shrewsbury

Really good 'clean', clever, natural show. Everyone I spoke with really enjoyed it.

— Square Chapel, Halifax

Spot On! Highlight of this year's Children's Festival

— Drill Hall, Lincoln
