"Revived by the always reliable Birmingham Stage Company, SKELLIG remains as refreshing as it is lively. There aren't many shows around that offer a bit of uplift. Skellig delivers just that."

"A darkly glittering production that makes you see the extraordinary in the everyday and the turbulent intensity of childhood. It has an excellent junk-laden design by Jacqueline Trousdale and atmospheric music from composer Jak Poore. A powerful reminder that the world is full of mysteries, some of which can be explained away and some of which remain unsolved."

"The BSC's production of this wondrous and multi-layered story is riveting. Skellig is powerfully played by Neal Foster and his presence is awesome. Raw emotion contrasts with great tenderness and the audience gave it thunderous applause."

"This is simply an amazing piece of theatre, a fantastic adaptation of the novel. The audience were spellbound."

"This is seamless, sophisticated theatre with a real emotional pull. The show is so well crafted and looks terrific. A lively young audience watched in wrapt silence."

"This eloquently presented, lyrical adaptation is spookily lit and breathily paced, maintaining the emotional charge of the story."

"An extraordinary and magical atmosphere with real emotional depth. Skellig is played by Neal Foster with an elemental, force-of-nature magnetism and the audience can't take their eyes off him. It's magnificent stuff."

"The imaginations of younger theatregoers will be sent soaring after seeing this production. Neal Foster is excellent as the "extraordinary" creature and parents should certainly seize the opportunity to get young people into the theatre with both hands"

"Congratulations BSC on this wonderfully entertaining piece of serious, thought-provoking theatre, seamlessly crafted by a superb, multi-skilled cast and delivered to an audience packed with primary schoolers, early teens and equally enthralled adults. They've were treated to a mighty fine stage performance - a first-class theatre experience."

"Entertaining, enthralling and thought-provoking. Dean Logan and Charlotte Sanderson are faultless in the central roles of Michael and Mina and Neal Foster is chilling as the enigmatic Skellig. A superb production from the Birmingham Stage Company."

"Innovative theatre is something for which the Birmingham Stage Company is well known. And this production is innovative indeed, with a unique and fabulous set. What follows is a wonderful story of escapism and hope. Don't miss it."

"This simply brilliant production manages, by way of simple storytelling supported by Jak Poore's subtle and beautiful music, to expose each layer of the narrative in such a way as to draw us closer and closer to its heart. It's credit to the strength of the story, the production and a superb performance by Neal Foster that we all take the leap of faith required to take us on this marvellous journey."

"I urge you to see this production. SKELLIG is a play to make you think, to challenge what you know about the world, to show that great things are possible. It is also superbly acted. An uplifting play to celebrate."
