"First time attending a production at the theatre and my daughter and i loved it. Organisers were lovely and the kids doing the production were amazing. Such talent. loved it. will definitely attend more productions. "

"The acting was outstanding multiplied by 10x, we got wrapped up into the emotion of the performances such that we were pulled into many emotive scenes, projection was excellent, most impressed how the production maxed out on characters by some playing several parts. My two sons are studying Othello at school this year, one in matric and one in Grade 10 and they both felt that watching the play live will help them a lot this year. What I particularly enjoyed were the various techniques used like various tones, pauses, change of speaking pace, change of emotions etc such that the words and imagery was brought alive. Shakespearean English can at times be difficult to follow, but the way the actors used the above techniques so effectively, was amazing and I followed the whole story from start to finish. Just unbelievably well done to all the actors and the director and greater team. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you. "
