Review
Utterly delightful and perfectly suited for Rural Touring.  Beautiful and compact set.  Puppetry top notch.

I spoke to Jen (performer) ; Alasdair (director) and Ailie (Producer and original performer).  Everything will fit in to their Berligo van.   They are keen on touring to England in 2012.  And they have received  funding to tour, so the show is very affordable.    Not dependent upon black box. 

Good images, publicity, merchandise and press/promoters’ pack.

Suitable / ready for rural touring?
yes
Would you book them ?
yes
Would it be worth pursuing this company to consider work in the future?
 yes

Any other comments

For flat Village Halls, they would need to raise 2 of the clouds which are currently at floor lever.   We had the benefit of raked seating in the small Hill Street Theatre.  I spoke to Ailie about this and she took it on board.
