“Fantastic interaction with the children. They were all gripped by the lead character – Mrs Merryweather- who kept the pace of the performance flowing brilliantly. The children gained much from the show and haven’t stopped talking about it. One of, if not the best show we have had in school. Thank you!”
Debbie Unsworth, Darenth Community Primary School, Dartford
