Media Reviews
'This is children's theatre at its best... Anthony Clark's adapation is both delightful and moving' Sunday Times 'Clark's adaptations have become justly regarded as unmissable seasonable entertainment... A wondrous children's musical guaranteed to crack the hardest of adult hearts... No neat moral yarn, but a humorous and haunting fable' Independent 'A skilful and enchanting stage version of a 1950s classic' The Times
