a beautifully told story… a truly enchanting hour’

THE SKINNY ****
‘Beautiful… this is storytelling at its best

FRINGE REVIEW ****
‘Serena Manteghi is brilliantly charismatic and gorgeous

There’s a noble beauty to Compton’s soaring script

FEST ***
a sweet fable for the power of story-telling

THE LIST **
the toast of the Fringe
‘Miss Minchin (a role tackled with aplomb and humour by a bearded Dominic West in a dress)
n.b. Dominic West was unable to perform the entire run due to prior Hollywood commitments. Dominic Allen has stepped in as Miss Minchin.

THE STAGE
‘a celebration of the power of the imagination, of storytelling and of Burnett herself

PRIMARY TIMES
‘I already want to see it again’
