PRESS REVIEWS –The Great Wopperloop

"A fascinating and satisfying way of entertaining children with comedy, audience participation (and do the kids participate!), bright costumes, and down-to-earth dialogue.  There's no talking down to the entranced kids.  It was wonderful to see how much the children were involved in everything that was happening.  Take the kids!" Bill Brewer.

"If I were a parent, this is the kind of entertainment I would want for my child, not least because I enjoy it so much myself.  Fabulously fantasy-rich plays - slick, spontaneous and full of charm.  The vocabulary is simple, but the language takes some fabulous parabolas and each character has his own mode of talking.  The humour is just right to tickle the juvenile sense of the ridiculous.  Together they hit the jackpot." Elaine Durbach.

"THE GREAT W0PPERL00P is undoubtedly among the most compelling and delightful productions I have seen.  It involves a great deal of magic, humour, participation and the conflict between the worlds of good and evil.  It has all the ingredients for good theatre-in-education and, like all good children’s fare, is excellent entertainment for both adults and children." Glennifer Gillespie.
