What the schools say

"As this is for many children their first experience of 'live theatre' it is really important that it catches their attention and imagination. This performance certainly enthralled the children and led to some good quality work back in the classroom."  

(Ynystawe Primary School, Swansea)

"Outstanding! You had all the children and adults' attention throughout the show, which is really hard with younger children. It was funny, well paced, and all in child friendly language. It was totally fantastic. The costumes and scenery were excellent and everything was of fantastic quality."  

(Litchard Infant School, Bridgend)

"The Children had an excellent experience and are very fortunate to have the opportunity to view such a quality piece of Theatre in Education.  The themes of the play fit in perfectly with the National Curriculum and assist the school in delivering Cwricwlwm Cymreig back in the classroom.  All the children are now looking forward to completing their work - what more could a teacher ask for?"  

(Garth Primary School, Bridgend)
