Reviews
I was delighted to get a sneak preview of 'Blue Remembered Hills' this afternoon! Deftly directed and evocatively staged and wonderfully performed by a strong ensemble cast, you really do see the children! Plenty of tickets available but probably not for long so get in quick and #bead
PS it's a short one for a change so more time in the bar too!
Hayley Thomas
Dennis Potter is surely one of the 20th Century's greats and it's a complete mystery why his work is not staged more often. Whist this play's countryside setting could cause problems the cast and staging were top-drawer, combining to make a memorable evening with the sixty minutes passing all too quickly. This was my first visit to the SLT and I shall definitely return. I didn't venture to the bar but this 50 seat venue was very comfortable with excellent air-con. (5/5)
Keith Rance
Well done kids! Really enjoyed your energy and trousers!
Cal Beckett
This is a joy to watch. Thanks to the fantastic team. So much energy and enthusiasm. Great stuff.
Janine Wunsche
This was such a great show to watch tonight, and the energy was unreal! Well done to all the cast and crew, great stuff and congratulations to Jo for putting it all together xoxo
Christine Theophilus
What a fantastic play. Great performances, laughter and sadness. Don’t miss it!
