Reviews

​

Richard II - 'What a great job you did to get such wonderful work out of such a range of actors. It was so fresh and vital, and great to hear the whole play.'
(Ali de Souza, Director of Drama at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School)

​

Hamlet - 'I saw a piece of theatrical bravura on Monday - a wonderful production of Hamlet, rehearsed and put together over just one weekend. The strong sense of movement created a special dynamic - you felt that almost anything could happen.'
(Susan Creed, Henley Standard)
