As an interested outsider who decided to come to the performance only half an hour beforehand I didn't know what to expect. I thought the performances were riveting.
It was for me very like being in a small intimate theatre, with excellent and captivating performances from everyone. Each and every story had such an individual stamp on its delivery and the stories were pretty good too!
I liked the way the performers were introduced too with recorder music. My one and only bit of criticism is that, especially at the beginning, the recorder music sounded a bit ‘school recorderish’, however I liked the idea very much and loved the grand daddy recorder.
All in all excellent! A fine night!
