Lee Phillpotts

Really enjoyed the production. Funny and poignant in good measure, particularly in light of the WWI Armistice Centenary. Cast were great, very engaging.

Amazing venue, amazing cast, amazing play- I laughed and I cried- what more could a girl ask for in a theatre visit !

John Baigent

A wonderful experience in a truly lovely theatre. The actors made it a memorable occasion and my wife and I enjoyed it immensely.

Tracey Bearton

Absolutely brilliant play - only disappointed to discover that the £60 tickets I bought through London Theatre Direct actually had a face value of £49.40 when we picked them up at the box office. Rip-off or what!

Sian Arthur

Excellent play. Enjoyed the evening well worth a visit.
