I absolutely cherished every moment of the show! It was nothing short of fantastic!

The pace, rhythm and melodrama is played to perfection and intensified by the supremely uncanny set that blends Edwardian gentility (period setting) with blitzed London (backdrop to writing). While the characters recognise, then variously explain away their complicity in Eva Smith’s suicide, the stage, and so the confessions, is haunted by figures of social conscience, judgement and consequence. The disproproportions of the house are perfectly in proportion with the egos of the Birling, and its symbolic rebuilding of ‘the House of Birling’ is in lock-step with the melodrama. A wonderful evening, thank you.

A fantastic performance by a polished cast. The attention to detail and symbolism in the set was cleverly and skilfully executed. A full house, the majority of which were GCSE students, and everyone was transfixed. There was no interval but the play was so enthralling that it went by in no time at all. A lovely theatre that was a pleasure to visit.

Very poor. Wooden actors who think shouting is all that counts. Small comedic interludes and ludicrous set.

So disappointed. Wonderful to see the theatre full for a matinee & the majority of school children were impeccably behaved but the thundering up and down stairs by the minority was so disruptive. Also, some reactions to serious moments in the play were ruined by the same people jeering, whistling & totally missing the point. I was embarrassed. I hated the set, which was clumsy and made movement by the cast seem forced & stilted. Technical issues led to 20 min delay, which didn't help. I am glad there was no intermission, as I would have been unlikely to want to see the rest. The community, as they were referred to in the programme (extortionate at £5.50), just confused me & I didn't understand the relevance and the programme (the only reason I bought it after seeing the performance) was that I hoped it would explain the community's role. It didn't. I could not fault the performances of the actors but whilst loving the play, this production was dreadful. Bitterly disappointed

I’ll start with a positive….Yep acting ok, there were elements of AmDram but I can get over that. I think we wanted the age old story as it was written, originally set in 1912, we seemed to have time warped to 1942, the little house was ridiculous, which seemed to add some sort of comedy to what was supposed to be a serious element of the play. JB Priestley never had the act, played out on the street with a telephone box incorporated nor I’m sure did he wish for the house to inexplicably explode without rhyme or reason. I found in some parts the play was over dramatic, actors found the need to emphasise their lines in order to out-stand from their fellow actors. Why try and change a really good story that has stood the test of time.
