Darien Review

This production is …worth seeing. The sets and costumes are magnificent, and individual performances warrant praise. Ian Thomson’s bit of Tower Green is magnificent.

The Greenwich Gazette

“…it was a resplendent and very professional performance by this non-professional, dedicated and talented company.”
