What a great night's entertainment! The whole cast worked together skilfully in both comedy and tragedy to raise your spirits and stimulate your empathy. The energy and comedic talent of Hannah Waterman stole the show, ably aided by Gemma Craven's "rough diamond". The technical aspect of the scenery led to an outstanding final scene. I am so glad the extra week was added as we were unable to get tickets for the original run. 29-06-10

Absolutely loved the show, thought the cast were perfect for their parts- So much fun and we were well entertained. I agree tho re the cast being wired, we found we missed some of the words.
C. Stride \\ 03/03/2010

Excellent entertainment even for us men. Could have done with wiring the cast as diction not always carried in such a large auditorium so occasional words were indistinct.

ON PREVIOUS SHOWING IN FEBRUARY - Absolutely fantastic, all the cast were amazing, it was so emotional in parts and then highly hilarious in others. I would recommend anyone of any age go to see this.
