Previously for our Marie Lloyd play: This is a really enjoyable show telling the story of this amazing woman. How often do you get to celebrate a great working-class hero as well as to sit back and join Lloyd in a music hall sing-a-long?
Previously for our Suffragette play: By turns enlightening, harrowing, heart-warming and funny....this excellent fly-on-the-wall look into the lives of the suffragettes proved to be an emotional rollercoaster.
Previously for our Edith Cavell play: John Mangan’s play has a real sense of momentum and dramatic tension .... Judi Daykin’s performance had a power and authenticity that was genuinely moving
