Reviews
"Mortgage the school if you have to. Ransom the governors, even. No child, or adult, should be denied the chance to see this: live theatre and history at its rip-roaring best."
"The auditorium seems fit to combust spontaneously in an explosion of joy and excitement. The audience shrieked as arrows whizzed over the stalls and the children were hooked!"

"A history lesson all the children seeing it will never forget. Great storytelling with unexpected brilliant touches. A spectacular show!"
