Comments
"What a wonderful production for young children. I brought my two year Grandaughter to see "How cold my toes" she was totally engrossed for the whole hour. Thank you."

"I agree with my namesake. I've just read the book in preparation for seeing the production on Monday. It's difficult to see how it can be adapted for the stage without losing something of that gradual build-up of tension, beautiful use of language and the careful development of characters in Julian Barnes' long and complex, yet eminently readable novel. But, hopes are high with David Edgar adapting. I haven't looked forward to a stage production with such anticipation for a long time."

"This was the most fantastic theatre experience I have ever had. The concept of the performance, design of the performance area, audience interaction with the cast, the acting, script, and direction were all outstanding. I'd have gone to see a second performance if I'd been quick enough to book before they sold out. Congratulations to everyone involved! "

"Took a group of 40 parents and pre school children to see How Cold My Toes this morning (17th March) and it was wonderful. Everyone, including babies on knees, were spellbound. Went to see The Ugly Duckling last year by the same group and that was wonderful too. Excellent value for money and perfectly pitched for our younger children to enjoy the spectacle of live theatre. Please, please continue with these performances."
Pauline Birch on How Cold My Toes
"What a great evening! We arrived at the house in Selly Oak to be greeted by the 'Behna' family with pakoras and sweets, as if arriving at a family party. The play 'proper' took place in the kitchen, with an audience of about 25 - it was a really tight, well written piece - with moving performances from the cast showing the real tensions that exist in any families with sisters. The proximity to the action, the use of the real house all added to the evening - it was an enjoyable night out and I for one would love to see more of this kind of programming....well done everyone!"
