    Audience Review
    " I loved your performance. I had no idea black women contributed to the war at all."
    Audience Review

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
