"There is as much to entertain the adults as there is to delight and enthrall the youngsters and their imagination"

"There are so many things The Birmingham Stage Company have got right in this beautifully constructed production, it’s impossible to list them all"

"This show is a love letter to the importance of imagination - a show for the whole family"

"Two brilliantly engaging actresses bring the puppets to life on a beautifully designed set and the whole production is slick and professional"

"One of the best shows I have seen with my children. My two boys of 3 and 5 were totally transfixed by Emily's shop and the saggy clothcat. It is beautifully produced with total respect for the original - a pure treat for the imagination"

"A genteel, lushly beautiful production that kept the children mesmerised"

"When the spotlight falls on Bagpuss, it is hard to know who is the most thrilled: the children or the parents. A wonderful concoction of puppets, slides, sing-a-longs, dressing-up and light effects. My children perched open-jawed on the edge of their seats!"

"The performers deliver perfect replicas of the mice and Professor Yaffle - my children, aged one and three were mesmerised"

"A heartfelt paean to the redemptive qualities of imaginative childhood play"

"Lovingly performed, with the exact replica of Emily's shop on the stage, this looks set to become a seasonal favourite. Bagpuss rocks!"
