Past Half Remembered in the UK

We had a great time touring in the UK with Past Half Remembered playing at Sevenoaks, Canterbury, Oxford and Cambridge this week. We had two shows at The Junction, Cambridge - where we have our UK office,  and had a useful post show discussion with GCSE students.

We finished at North Wall Arts Centre with (almost) sell-out shows and now the set has been packed up and shipped back to Norway. The show will tour to Cameroon this November and then back to the UK for more touring dates in March 2013!

Opening night & the first set of reviews are in for Hansel & Gretel!!

Yesterday marked another big milestone for us – opening night for Hansel and Gretel in Cambridge. Setting the stage, the theatre foyer was transformed into a winter wonderland complete with fake snow, pine cones and real gingerbread (this is Hansel and Gretel after all!) meanwhile the scent of mulled wine filled the air teasing guests, press and audience goers who had assembled for the show ...

This morning we woke to the first set of reviews for the show. Here are some of our favourite quotes...

“With its European folk songs, physical inventiveness and clever use of puppetry... this is far from being a traditional panto”
Andrew Aldridge, The Stage

“This is one magical journey worth making in all weathers and will warm the heart on even the coldest December night”
Glen Pearce, ***** Public Reviews

"A deeply funny fairytale, tinged with pathos... the perfect embodiment of less is more"
Eleanor Turney, A Younger Theatre.

“A magical show which ventures deep into the traditions of storytelling, Hansel and Gretel is a delight for all ages and an intelligent alternative to the gaudy glitz which can often obscure the humble wonders of Christmas”
Jennifer Shelton, Cambridge News
