Reviews

Prospero's rough magic is a powerful and resonant image of the excitement and power of community theatre. There is the power of illusion with all the danger and roughness and thrill of something happening in front of you.  A shared mystery that brings people together and gives them a shared memory and a buzz and when the rough magic is being performed in some place as rough as the bus depot, It is hard to imagine magic shining brighter.

This Northlands production has done it again - another triumph... the audience loved it, the youngsters obviously enjoyed it and the professionals must be proud of their own, and the young participants achievements.

Flying Ariels, and monstrous Calibans, a gothic Prospero and a dark suited sartorial royalty... Written by director Martin Danziger, the Revels End combined theatre and circus to produce a spectacular event guaranteed to delight the audience...If it was a triumph as a performance it was equally so as a community event.
