Fire of London

All agreed performance excellent in every way! The pace, organisation and content of the production was superb, and in spite of working with a large number of children, no-one was left out and all were involved. Children loved it and continued to talk about it during the rest of the day, continuing acting their part in the playground. It was such a pleasure to take part in this workshop. The structure and organisation were so ‘tight’, that you could get a huge amount of information over in a fun way. It is so refreshing to see a group of actors relating to children in a meaningful way, rather than shouting at them and working them up to fever pitch! Wonderful.
