Slow, Interactive, Entertaining

See it if interacted with audience, lots of opportunities for children to feel part of the action. Helped by the tiny theatre. Best for age 4-7

Don't see it if First half was a bit slow but second half was laugh out loud.

For a previous production

"It’s all good fun and provides plenty of giddy escapism. But at over two hours, it feels overstretched, particularly for this age range, and several gags get flogged to the point of cruelty."

For a previous production

" ‘Midsummer Mechanicals’ is full of nice ideas, but all it adds up to is a big buzzing headache of a show."
