The most extraordinary piece of theatre I have seen in a long time. 23 different Indian languages. All Indian cast and production team, apart from the director

Took my kids to see it. (8 - 13) They loved, 8 year old knew exactly what was going on. this is the type of stuff we shoujld be taking our kids to see. It is Theatre at its best fantastic risks -
blown away

I started going to Stratford in my early teens and it changed my life; I began to see that I could break through the boundaries of a quite poor working class life and I bless my English teachers for taking me.
You've given your children such a brilliant experience; you've spurred me on to try to get there with GS1.
I saw Much Ado in January and still smile whenever I think of it.
I went regularly to see Juliet Stevenson, Harriet Walter, Fiona Shaw, Alan Rickman, Kenneth Branagh; it was such a fabulous period.

I saw this at the Roundhouse and it didn't work there - I really wanted it to, but it just didn't - I think too big venue - wish I had seen it at the Swan, everyone who saw it there said it was amazing - assume it's gone back there? Really impressed you took your ds.

It finishes on May 19th.

This is the second dream they have seen - as long as they know the story beforehand they are fine. It is a great way of making them see that anything is possible

Can't believe it did not work but I can see that a big space would be a draw back.

Stratford also has family tickets!! Cheap for kids
