'Where is the life?' Feedback from the audience (2023)

"Excellent! A strong cast and plot. Impressive characterisation maintained throughout. Dialogue pacey and the interactions between characters were enthralling. Lighter moments brought laughter amongst the fiery scenes which were filled with emotion. A modern play with a relevant theme."
