  I saw you at Bestival and thought you were all amazing! Loved the puppets, music and stories. There should be more theatre like yours around.
  
  Very entertaining, I shall look out for you in the fture and hopefully see you next year at Bestival!

  I was camped right by the gypsy wagon at Bestival and watched the little puppet boy show on the Saturday. Loved it so much me and my mate saw it on the Sunday too :) really great folksy music and loved the ghoullish tale, hope you come back next year!

  Your work is truly inspiring, loved Lily through the dark, and randomly saw you at Bestival this year in your wagon.
  
  Keep up the amazing work!

  Saw The Ordinaries at NSDF, and have followed you ever since. Amazing work and lovely people.
  
  Cant wait to see your 'grand new adventure' with a wagon up and running!

  Caught some of your Terrible Tales at Bestival and just got back from the production of Lily Through The Dark in Bath. I think you are brilliant, i absolutely love what you do. Keep it up :)

  My gf and I are coming down from Lancaster this weekend primarily to see 'Lilly Through the Dark'. When I saw it at last year's fringe it was one of the highlights of my week and I took her to see Terrible Tales this year which we also both really enjoyed. I'm dead excited I'll get a chance to share the Lilly experience with her too!

  Hi there!
  Thought I'd drop you a line to express my appreciation of your work. I saw the terrible tales in Edinburgh and then Lilly through the dark in Greenwich only last night. I have one thing to say... Beautiful! I think your shows are genius and so well put together.. Imagination central!
  
  I very much look forward to seeing another one of your shows again!
  
  Brilliant! xx

  Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Terrible Tales at the Bedlam.
  Saw a taster at one of the Lucky Dip nights - and then went back the following evening to see the whole show.
  Thoroughly entertaining; great music and acting, wonderful voices and how do you get the puppet to do that!
  
  The best thing I saw at The Fringe.

  This is a poem about seeing 'The Ordinaries' at Carnival in the Castle in Winchester.
  
  Castle
  
  Sometimes there are breath-less days
  The sort that gobble up light
  They freeze me now
  Like IT once did then
  (Before I learnt how to fight)
  
  No gentle words
  Are ever found
  In the memory box
  Shut tight
  No comfort lives
  In the crowds quick rush
  And I wonder (from somewhere inside)
  Is there room for me in the world beyond?
  Is there any way out at all?
  Cos the cut they made
  Was cruel and wide
  And the Heavy door shut so tight
  O those cuts they made
  Were deep and wide
  They still fill my lungs
  With the pasts pressing tide…
  
  On a breath-less day
  I fought that tide
  I wanted to journey
  When it told me to hide
  I fought and I won
  And I entered the castle
  Just as the show had begun.
  
  It’s not easy to watch
  The plays story unfold
  Blind eyes
  Fiercely burnt by new sun
  But all the words
  Were gentle and soft
  Carefully spun rays
  Slowly melting a frost
  Poetry’s rhythm
  Calming old tides
  Comfort cradles honesty
  Revealing what was lost
  
  I couldn’t have known then
  How to cope with what I saw
  But I watched in the castle
  With my soul open wide
  Till a little lost voice
  Left strangled inside
  Discovered an opening
  In the Heavy old door
  No longer shut tight-
  Over months, over years
  I’ve gathered my strength-
  Now stepping outside
  I breathe in pure light

  Hiya, i saw Terrible Tales at the Hat Fair on Saturday. I really enjoyed it - it was really clever and imaginative. I also came to see Angelrust, which was great. The sillouhettes reminded me of Lotte Reiniger's stuff, and the puppetry was fantastic (especially the dancing lamp). Really enjoying your stuff, keep it up!

• Darcy(Tuesday, June 29 10 10:17 am BST)

  you inspire me.

  Hi
  I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lilly through the dark and thought it was rather inspiring. My main purpose for writing this email is to ask you for help. I have a GCSE Drama paper in only 3 days time. I have been working like a Troshean trying to gather information about this production as I liked it very much and have even decided to write about it for my exam.
  I particularly enjoyed the scene when we meet the character Alice for the first time. I was just wondering if you could post me any comments into why you chose to develop such a scene and what part this character plays in the story. I thought they were rather quirky but is there some sort of hidden metaphor in the way the character is portrayed. I would love to know!
  Hope to hear from you soon
  Camilla

  I came to see 'Lilly Through the Dark' last week. It was a very special show. I hope you will be coming to a venue near me this summer. I shall bring friends to see your work. (I note that someone has mentioned Cambridge... that would be good! The Rhodes Centre in Bishop's Stortford would be even better...and they do sometimes take shows such as this.) Good luck with your work.

• Chantal(Monday, March 22 10 01:42 am GMT)

  I saw 'Lily Through the Dark' at BAC. I loved it! The show was so beautiful, funny and moving. It was so refreshing to see such good quality theatre. I especially liked the two 'hanged men' and Lily and well..everything. I will definitely keep a look out for your future work.

• Lucy(Saturday, February 13 10 10:17 pm GMT)

  Am a big fan of your work, i have seen all your shows and am looking forward to your Little Matter show!! Good luck with it

  I saw 'The Ordinaries' a few years ago and was totally entranced, unfortunately I was too late to gain tickets for 'Lilly Through the Dark' at this year's Fringe. I live near the Cambridge area and I hope you will bring you Summer 2010 tour to one of the surrounding theatres!

• Val(Tuesday, December 15 09 11:18 pm GMT)

  Saw your show in London last week, thought it was brilliant. Well done.
