| Recommendations by some who have already performed this show:- |
| "I have produced this play before; I think it
is a wonderful play and I shall do it again. Many audience members said how
good a play it is and how refreshing it was to see something a bit different
from the normal school repertoire." Stephen Robinson, The Mount School, Bromsgrove. |
