We loved all of it. The theatre is small , cosy and quirky. The atmosphere was great- full of fun. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. The acting was great and very powerful with a thought provoking performance. We are seeing the show for the second time on Sunday with different friends. My humbug Christmas friends loved it. Thanks for a great evening.

We have been to see several shows at this lovely little theatre and they never disappoint! Iain and Jacqueline are such friendly and welcoming people that make everyone feel comfortable; we have been bringing our little boy since he was 5 months old and he is now 2. They are very talented performers and artists, I highly recommend going to see one of their wonderful shows, they are great fun for all the family! We can't wait to visit again soon!

Whole show was superb. The eloquent timely delivered wit courtesty of Brian Conley was professional theatre at it's all time best. His interaction with young and old could not have been better. His colleagues were also at the top of their game. The eye for detail with the costumes /props and scenery was second to none especially the innovation of the flying horse and carriage. This was the best Pantomine has seen since Jo Pasquale in 2011 and Nigel Havers/Bobby Davro and Lee Mead in 2014. Such a contrast to the poor pantomine productions of the previous two years. Absolutely Amazing.

This was the best, most funny pantomime that I have ever seen. There are 4 mad guys who keep you entertained for over 2 hours with a 20 minutes interval in the middle. We have not laughed so long and hard for ages. Still time to see them over the next few days
