An absolutely fantastic show. Worth the walk through the snow to watch. Great story, fantastic cast and crew and typical Forest Forge genius, thank you for such a lovely evening.

Thank you for bringing the excellent ‘The Wolves of Willoughby Chase’ to the Phoenix Theatre on Friday. As the new Director of The Phoenix this was the first show I had seen at the venue and what a show to start off with. Congratulations and good luck the remainder of the tour.

Firstly, I just wanted to congratulate you on ‘The Wolves of W C’ which I saw the end of last week in Wallington. I have seen 3 other Christmas type-shows in the last 3 weeks, 2 regional and 1 London and Forest Forge’s was by far the most enjoyable, plus carried truly fabulous production values for I am sure a ‘challenging’ budget. I was really impressed as this was the first time I had seen the company’s work.

I have seen this twice now, I seriously loved it that much, as did all of my friends who have seen it with me. I would love to be able to get a copy of the music, it was absolutely beautiful.

Compliments from me and those that accompanied me last night. ‘Wolves’ really captured our imagination and we all left with a spring in our step. Magical use of resources. Daring mix of genres – the boys resisted this initially but not for long! Absolutely brilliant.

The show was great on Saturday, I thoroughly enjoyed it as did the audience, I was sitting by a group of Beavers, boys aged 7ish and they were all engrossed.

Congratulations to Kirstie Davis and the rest of the team, it had good pace and the acting was great, particularly, Michael Cole, Michael Magnet and Thomas Gilbey.

As one of my favourite books as a child it really was true to the story and bought it all flooding back, marvellous.

What a marvellous evening! Incredible pace which never faltered (despite the audience participation at times!) We had a fantastic time and were amazed at the energy you put into every minute of the drama. Thank you so much and enjoy the remainder of your tour.

We loved it. We saw the performance at Salisbury Salberg Studio on Tuesday 21 February. We loved how funny and talented the actors were. They sang really well and brought all of the different parts to life. The staging and the lighting were fantastic too. The music really suited what was happening in the play. We loved the cheese alphabet and the skating was so realistic too. The actor who played Mrs Briskett was brilliant as were all of the cast.

Just watched Wolves of Willoughby Chase in Swindon with my kids – absolutely loved it. A gem, very atmospheric, fantastic cast and ingenious production design. I am now a fully signed up fan of Forest Forge!

A friend and I took 4 9 year old boys to The Arts Centre in Swinon last night to see The Wolves… and it was brilliant! We thought the acting was excellent and the whole production was fantastic. We loved the set too. The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Very impressed! Sian Stokoe

first time i have ever seen a production from Forest Forge as I’m a trainee actor at Bournemouth and Poole college where Forest Forge visited and i thought the play was a great and inspiring production the facial exspressions and the quirky and comedy aspect they gave across was really well fitting. and the way they had to to swap character and put this into a comedy way as the two characters meet in the same seen where one actor was playing the two really good and gave me loads of ideas for my childrens theatre which i am know working on

Saw WOWC on Sunday at Greenwich Theatre – didn’t realise it was the final performance of the tour! I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the story, and it sounded as though many children would be clamouring for it in their libraries now they’ve seen such a vivid world. Your character changes were genius!
