"Absolutely loved it! Such a great morning spent outside with the kids with outstanding acting! "

"I and my grandchildren (aged 7 and 4) just LOVED the show! We came on Thursday 17 December at 9:30 and found the relaxed picnic atmosphere was charming. Somehow, I had missed the information that there would be no kiosk selling treats, so we looked on somewhat wistfully as other groups tucked into their picnic hampers! The show itself was AMAZING! We thought it was so clever that just a few actors were able to achieve so much in the way of characterization. The constantly changing use of the boxes as props encouraged wonderful creative ideas and the humour was great fun! It must have been very difficult to put this show on outdoors with the constant threat of bad weather (our first date was cancelled but it was fine for our second booking) but it was well worth the effort! WELL DONE TO YOU ALL - and special thanks to Cindy! Keep up the good work - we look forward to coming back to watch new shows in 2021."
