Beautifully honest and brave performance from Olivia Satchell. Best entrance of the night, the lighting change worked so well to draw the audience to her and then she held the moment wonderfully. I’m glad you didn’t have an extra week, your favourite composer, and mountains of tech, because cutting it right back to basics worked so well. Would you seriously have wanted such things or were you just being rhetorical?

I am a huge fan of Lewis Carroll, with copies of the annotated Wonderland, Looking-Glass, and Snark somewhere in the various piles of books I laughingly call my library. ‘Alice’ is very clever, very funny with some really touching moments, and well performed. We were sitting in on a rehearsal of very talented actors working on a strong piece of writing, and it was great! Can’t wait to see the final version.

I have seen ‘The Line We Draw’ before as part of subtlenuance’s ‘Bare Boards Brave Hearts’, and thought it very good. There was a very different dynamic in the audience tonight. Moments that drew stunned silence in that previous showing drew laughter. Quite a different space. Skye Loneregan seemed a bit off, she stumbled over a number of lines and had to correct herself. But she is very charismatic on stage, and able to get past such things.

‘Creature’ I thought was some interesting writing and strong acting overwhelmed by the set and costume changes that really didn’t add anything. Strip it back and just do the monologues, that would be more powerful.
