“…a brilliant example of what a company can do with a bundle of invention, some creatives who really know their stuff – and the local area – and a cast who are both happy to be on stage and have the requisite pantomime chops in the singing, dancing and comedy departments… a hugely enjoyable piece.” Thom Dibdin, AllEdinburghTheatre.com
