AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
WHAT OUR AUDIENCES SAID…
“What an unbelievable night. I cannot overstate how much you will appreciate catching this production in Crewe while you still can. Fantastically written. The whole cast delivered this hugely energetic and entertaining piece brilliantly, start to finish. The presentation is technically clever, using the challenging space well. Not an easy ask to pull something like this off in a previously empty shop unit. An absolute triumph from all involved.”
Partner & Audience Member, Crewe
“I thought this play was really important. It was excellent. The acting was outstanding. As a northern soul fan, the music and the references were really interesting. On top of that the social challenges it brought up with modern day England - it did it in a non-cheesy. It was outstanding. I wish TV was this good.”
Audience Member, Blackpool

The story line and content were true to the real lived experience of being a NS fan in those decades. Well done to the cast and crew. This will be a night to remember.”

“Absolutely beautiful performance from all !!! It actually had me with tears in my eyes. l felt a little bit embarrassed as I could see people looking - a 65 year old man crying over a play. I had to fight them back. I think I got too deep into it…Brought so many memories back but it really moved me. Well done all!!! I'm just being honest. It's the best thing I've seen and attended since I appeared back on the scene back in 2008!! After my marriage broke up and I've been to all the venues and weekenders, But the play really hit home for me - I suddenly didn't feel alone the play told me that. IT'S 10 FROM 10 FOR ME !! Keep up the good work. Let the world see your play. Definitely needs an OSCAR and medals for the actors,”
