Decided to watch this show on the off chance and we were thoroughly surprised. A great show and some very energetic performances.

it was very good

I enjoyed it very much. However, I thought that it started very slowly. Having said that everyone seemed interested. Personally,I would have liked the evolution of more animal species to have been considered (especially larger ones)....and more reference to specific characteristics of the animals that had come about because of the environmental conditions.

Really enjoyable and interesting production.
Susy Connell24th February
What an absolutely superb production! Such a simple, cleverly designed revolving set, upon which the actors performed to perfection. Such a privilege to see. I learned so much also.

We had a wonderful evening and would definitely recommend this show.

Falls between two stools. Too simplistic a presentation of the religious debate that surrounded Darwin's theories for adults but too complex for children, some of whom became quite bored and fidgety. Better seats very pricey.
