.0... . There’s a buzz around this previously unheard of trio, and they deserve it. Fresh out of drama school, their bright-eyed. eager to please approach leaves the audience beaming. What they lack in acrobatic finesse they more than make up for in enthusiasm.

This is a gem of a production the whole family will enjoy. (Eddie Thornton)
