What the public say

Wonderful acting and staging, really enjoyed this West End quality performance, best thing I have seen for a while!

Stuart

Absolutely loved it. I adore the book series so was excited to see it performed. Really great interpretation and I sobbed throughout the second half. Thoroughly recommend. Jude was particularly well done in my opinion, a stand out performance.
