    • 'I have just returned from a couple of days in Woking and was lucky to see your fabulous production of 'Far from the Madding Crowd' at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre LAST NIGHT. it was one of the greatest evenings I have ever spent in a theatre. What a superb cast. Many congratulations'

    • 'Hi! Just wanted to congratulate you on a brilliant production of Far From the Madding Crowd, which I and my friend saw at the Richmond Theatre last night. It was an absolutely stunning evening - a real theatrical experience that had us gripped and enthralled until the very end. Such imagination in the staging and the set and all the movement and dances that enhanced the unfolding of the story. I hardly like to mention the actors, as they didn't seem to be acting at all - everything was so real and one was just carried along. We chose the theatre evening as a birthday celebration for my friend and were very pleased with ourselves for making such an excellent choice! Thank you for your great dedication and the huge enjoyment that you gave. The very best of good wishes for the rest of the tour. '

    • 'Last week at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter I saw possibly the best performance I have seen there in 30 years. Far from the Madding Crowd was dynamic and riveting. Great acting and choreography. Thank you.'
