Audience Reviews

" ... oh my ... I don't know what to say ... except don't miss it! If you've ever loved, if you've ever wanted to love ... let this truly wonderful play take you there and then some ... you'll be in fits of laughter, your heart strings will be pulled this way and that, you might even shed a tear or two (I did)"

" ... words cannot describe ... you have to, you've got to, you must, please see this play. I don't remember feeling that blown away by a piece of theatre - not for a long time. You will laugh, guaranteed. You will shed a few tears, also guaranteed, and you will most definitely fall in love with all the characters"
