Recenzii

FIVE STARS! Leyshon's poetic way with words, the subtle modulations of Roxana Silbert's scenically humble production and the superb, lived-in detail of the four actors hold us in thrall. This wonderful play deserves to endure.
FIVE STARS! Setting the bar for new writing impressively high with this beauty. Breathtaking writing, flawless staging. Folk deserves to be around for a very long time
A lyrical, complex celebration of Cecil Sharp
A beautiful, beguiling play that captures the transcendent and transformative power of music
Edgily enchanting and beautifully played by all, this is an exquisite gem
