Around the World in 80 Days received a 5 star review
'...a five-star rating means one of the best examples of a show of its type that the reviewer has ever seen - and that's precisely what this is. Complete with sparky plot, imaginative promenade staging, a four-piece live band, gentle inclusion of topical issues and a showcase for the skills of five fine, immaculately directed actors, it is an outstanding piece of work.'

Whodunnit?
'Dangerous Path': can student sleuth Sydney Sharp unravel the mysterious demise of Professor Noble? A thirty minute whodunnit for the stage. Feedback from the Steyning Festival: ‘...we very much enjoyed reading the play and found it an interesting variation on quite a well-established genre, with an unexpected double twist and some nice characters.’ |
