"She absolutely loved her week with you and I was so impressed with their performance and how much they had achieved."

"The show was just brilliant and everyone looked like they were having so much fun. An extra thank you for the skill with which you clearly made my daughter (6) feel comfortable and confident enough to find it so fun. She is prone to retreat into her shell if anything mildly dramatic is expected of her!"

Personally, as a writer and poet, I love the fact you are introducing primary age children to Shakespeare, getting them excited by the language and familiarising them with some of the great quotes and stories that are such an important part of our culture.

"she had an absolute blast and wailed all the way home on the Thursday ‘but I’m a TREE, I have to be there tomorrow, they are going to be missing a tree for the performance, waaaah’. Inconsolable. We could barely stagger home." Much Ado About Nothing

"We love you. Everyone has the best time. They usually do to be fair but this one was particularly good." Much Ado About Nothing

"Thanks again for last week, the girls have been teaching me about Shakespeare, amazing  [🤩] " Much Ado About Nothing

"My children particularly enjoyed the Elizabethan dancing and the play-fighting, and have been doing both ever since – especially the hair pulling! I think they also got a lot out of doing a proper play-in-a-week with lines – they loved your Christmas Cracker and Olympic weeks too, but there’s something special about putting on a real play."  

"The quills were a lovely craft activity!

"Our favourite thing about Infinite Jest at the moment is that it is something our 8yo boy and 5yo girl can do together, and both really enjoy on different levels. I think it has been really nice for their relationship to do some classes together and interact in different ways. She was also happy to see lots of friends from her school, and I think they made some new friends too. I was very proud you gave her some really quite long and complex things to say even though she’s only five – it was great to see her challenged. And my son loved making everyone laugh with his dramatic Romeo speech!" Much Ado About Nothing

"My daughter loved it. She enjoyed the script and the trust and responsibilities she was given. The professional way in which you all worked with her brought the best out of her. No pandering or talking down." Much Ado about Nothing

"She learned new techniques for drawing and was very proud of the ruff and the new styles of drawing she had clearly learned by watching and working with other participants."

"The Infinite Jest team are fantastic, so warm, creative, talented and kind."

"The workshop felt safe and challenging and warm and not at all watered down"
