Audience reactions

Just to say that we (four friends) went to last night's performance.  We thought it was amazing - the concept, the writing and the acting.  In spite of knowing only too well how it must end, we were gripped by the story.  We thought the representation of Kristallnacht was extremely clever - and moving, as was the whole play.  Congratulations to you all.

We went by chance, having spotted it in Time Out (I called you re tickets and you kindly called back).  I think it justifies a far wider audience.  It educates and entertains (in the widest sense). I would have thought it fitted well into New End's programming and demographic.  Thank you for a very special evening.
