Reviews
"We loved the whole experience. From starting at the food market to the magnificent story telling, the joyful and sad music from Romeo and Juliet from the talented musicians in a magical setting. We can’t wait for next year. "

"Absolutely beautiful ! Loved every single moment despite the blaring music from another concert across the road. I would love to experience more concerts / musicals like this … so refreshing to hear something different. Some of the songs were complex, so well done to the cast for a great performance !!! "

"I know I say this every year, but this year’s production was truly the best yet. The set design was incredible, and the choice to give the play a slightly more contemporary, almost 1950s-inspired feel worked beautifully, it’s now forever how I’ll remember Twelfth Night.
The cast was phenomenal, with the fool and Sir Tony Belch especially shining, though every actor brought something special to the stage. Even when they weren’t the focus, each performer stayed completely in character. For 100 minutes we were completely transported, making it a magical and thoroughly enjoyable evening under the stars at Maynardville Park. Chef’s kiss. "
