I never knew that a story about weather forecasting could be so gripping
Absolutely brilliant !!! A powerful theatrical experience, so simply put together, which I will remember for years to come. David Haig is an incredibly talented, insightful and well researched playwright and actor who, with an "easy" mix of powerful drama and comedy, is able to draw in audiences of all ages.
The play was excellent entertainment and the theatre and staff of high quality, The only complaint i have is that the request for me to give feedback was sentk to me THIRTEEN times between 9am and 9.58am! Charles Wilson.
A good production in a small theatre which means the acting need to be very good. Theatre is old and tired but maybe that fits in with the play.
Excellent, we loved performance.
Brilliant and completely holding ones attention for the whole play with build up of great tension.
I enjoyed every minute of this play, excellent writing and acting - it was gripping.
