Audience feedback for The Winter’s Tale

• “A brilliant play! Superb acting that really draws the audience in – tragic and comic in turns.”
• “Another brilliant show.”
• “This is fantastic. I am sure you, like me, will really enjoy the little known play.”
• “Congratulations to all at Corkscrew Theatre on a fine production of The Winter’s Tale.”
• “Congratulations on a great production.”
• “Bloody brilliant!”
• “… a wonderful and masterful presentation. Great cast, set and costumes. And a huge bear too. I applauded enthusiastically but I really wanted to hug everyone on stage it was so good. I was deeply moved. Thank you.”
• “The show will stay with me for a very long time.”
• “… such commitment, focus and talent.”
• “… we left the theatre thinking we had seen a very good production of a very good play.”
• “It was wonderful! Tragic and witty! Fabulous acting, brilliant stage production! Loved it!”
• “What a show everyone! From a Shakespeare play that I hardly knew to being one of my favourites I’ve ever seen. A sumptuous, beautiful Winters Tale.”
• “Corkscrew Theatre‘s Winter’s Tale was an astonishing piece of theatre, and in their hands one of Shakespeare’s most unusual plays in turn feels like one of his greatest tragedies, and one of greatest comedies.
• “Superb acting, and a combination of beautiful set and lighting makes a visually stunning production.”
• “One of Shakespeare’s bizarre plays – but somehow Corkscrew Theatre makes sense (and often nonsense) of it all. It’s both tear-jerker and fits-of-giggles stuff. Wonderful Christmas entertainment.”
• “Corkscrew Theatre’s production of The Winter’s Tale last week managed to tear at the heartstrings in Sicilia and put on a panto in Bohemia – yet that’s how Shakespeare wrote it, and the team made it work.”
• “Atmospheric and beautiful and sometimes very silly indeed.”
• “Super production – we laughed and we cried. Some really lovely performances. Well done again Corkscrew!”
• “Act one especially I found totally absorbing, and Annabelle Roberts maintained the dramatic tension superbly. Add to that a supporting cast that does ‘stuff’ magnificently in the background, a brilliant set with ingenious lighting and sound effects and the result is a memorable evening of theatre. Well done – and thank you!”
• “I watched your show last night and just had to message to tell you that YOU GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (as in world-class incredible). I’ve rarely been to the theatre over the years mainly because for some reason I thought I had to go down to London and spend half my life savings on a trip and having watched you in action now I’m completely hooked. I personally hated Shakespeare at school as I couldn’t understand a word and had strong reservations as to whether I would understand your show. But your performances were mesmerising and the skills you have to bring such a show to life just made everything make sense. Thank you. I genuinely would’ve paid five times the price I paid to see you all as you are beyond worth it!”
