Reviews

Absolutely brilliant

Saw Journey’s End on Wednesday. Absolutely brilliant. What a moving emotional roller-coaster, felt you were there in the dug-out with them. All the cast were excellent, Chris Stowe playing Capt Stanhope gave an exceptional performance. You really could feel the tension he was portraying. The audience all around us where affected. I couldn’t stop the tears, and I was not the only one. This performance and the emotion it made you feel were on par with any professional plays, and films I have seen. Well done to all of those involved. You have done yourselves proud.
