quote of the day for THE SCHOOL UNDERNEATH...!
“A fantastic show which held the children’s attention from start to end. The staff and children all thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was fast moving, witty and gripped the audience’s attention. We have had a few travelling productions to the school this year but this was by far the best. Well done!!” primary school teacher
