A Christmas Carol
7th-8th December 2019
Waterstones, King Street, Lancaster
It was great, an enjoyable performance with great props and staging.
Great venue and perfect setting for such a famous book. The words sang in the space. Amazing memory, Bob! Loved the puppets, the live brass band and the obvious enthusiasm of all involved. Thanks!
A great, unusual show, very intimately staged and well performed all round.
Thank you. What a wonderful spirited performance. Wonderful puppets. I really liked the shadow puppets and music.
Loved the show and can’t wait for the next one. The puppets really made it “something different” too. Thank you.
It was a lovely show. The acting was brilliant and the puppets looked so cool adding a whimsy to the play. Great use of space, music and light. I hope you do many more plays.
Excellent production. Imaginative and entertaining. Well acted. Thank you!
Brilliant venue. Very atmospheric and Dickensian. Brilliant actors and very imaginative ‘spirits’! Thoroughly enjoyed the musical arrangements that accompanied the performance. Well done everyone.
Better than A Muppet Christmas Carol.
The puppets were absolutely gorgeous! Genuinely nearly brought me to tears. A fantastic show!
A superb show! Well done to all! Deliberate, clear direction throughout really helped to carry the show through. Fantastic puppets. Loved the setting – worked really well as did the set. Would come to another show like this.
A Fisherman’s Tale: Wily Wenches, Salty Sovereigns and Cursed Crustaceans
12th-15th December 2019
Lancaster Maritime Museum, St George's Quay, Lancaster
A lovely performance! Had a little bit of everything, the characterisation was so strong and we could really see how much work has been put in from both cast and crew.
The show was amazing! Absolutely hilarious and yet serious at times. Loved the cast.
Five star (fish) ✰✰✰✰✰
Great characterisation by all, aided by a great setting
Well done – very funny and thought provoking. Loved the special effects and the singing
Really well performed and good fun. I really enjoyed it. Good luck.
I didn’t know what to expect – but what a great and entertaining show. Such a variety of scenarios and great individual performances. The range of regional accents was impressive! PYTHONESQUE!!!
Very entertaining with great comic timing! Loved it.
Monty Python meets ‘A Play Gone Wrong’ at sea… descending into a morality tale – food for thought!
Multiroling at its best!
All of the strengths of devised theatre and none of the weaknesses.
