Reviews

Heart-warming, crowd-pleasing entertainment with all the sincerity of a good Christmas pudding.’ – Paddy Cooper & James Ellington – www.theatre-wales.co.uk

‘It is a very brave artist who dares to undertake such a task but it is bravery that is a mark of The Wales Theatre Company and its adventurous Artistic Director Michael Bogdanov…A near perfect production…Bogdanov may have opened up a rich seam here and this adaptation could become a regular part of the Christmas entertainment scene as a sort of Peter pan for Wales.’ – Michael Kelligan – www.theatre-wales.co.uk

‘There is not a single weak link in this excellent production, which should hopefully find favour not only with Dylan Thomas aficionados but also mainstream theatregoers with a taste for nostalgia.’ –Graham Williams – www.theatre-wales.co.uk

‘Bogdanov’s respect for Thomas’ text was evident as he and his cast brought gem after gem to life and blended them seamlessly with vignettes of his own creation.’ –Sarah Manners – Western Mail
