Reviews
“Stead’s fresh and original script moves the tale along at a brisk pace and King’s imaginative and colourful sets create bold and memorable images for young and old alike, transforming the Sneddon stage into a new world of fun and fantasy.”
Tommy Ballantine, The Sunday Tribune
“Yes, boys and girls, it’s panto time again and this one, in which every cast member sparkles, is a twinkling treasure trove of riches… Stead and King and their talented team of KickstArt regulars have created a colourful Christmas confection that nobody could resist.”
Billy Suter, The Mercury
“Funny, interactive, energetic and occasionally totally over-the-top, the story unfolds and let me tell you there are some BIG surprises in store. The cast are top-notch, the costumes splendid, the lighting and special effects spectacular. We are in the hands of professionals. Sleeping Beauty is a non-stop whirl of colour, movement and sound, a golden day, a true delight. Such creative productions play an essential role in developing new audiences by offering an enchanting theatrical experience. Something to remember forever.”
Gisele Turner, The Daily News
