Press Quotes
from previous productions

"........Charles Nowosielski's
 production for Theatre Alba invests in a sweep of imagination that cries out for a big stage to transcend a story that is as big as a Greek  tragedy or biblical epic....."

".....a rich and vivid tale of reinvention and renewal that rumbles with true sensuality....."

" The small cast work brilliantly together to produce real emotion and great humour throughout"

" The outdoor setting adds to the spirit. Make sure you dress warm. Hot tea and biscuits are available at the interval. All in all, an atmospheric and entertaining couple of hours."
