Only one week left to go and time has just flown by - as it does - please find below the total list of quotes for the production - full reviews can be read on the horla site.
"Six actors, on a tiny three-sided stage hung with props and costumes, tell 10
stories, play 51 characters and perform all the songs and musical instruments.
It’s a formidable display of skills from a young, enthusiastic cast."
The
Sunday Telegraph
" ... stirring and likeably silly ... uncluttered simplicity by the appealing
company ... the music, directed by Carole Carpenter and Jonathan Langford and
performed by the cast on everything from clarinet, accordion and trumpet to
Tibetan singing bowl and didgeridoo, delightfully embraces the jaunty and the
haunting."
The Times
"Horla's high energy, melodious, multiple-narrative Christmas show is certainly
value for money .... the youthful, likeable actors give unremittingly committed
performances .... funny and inventive ..."
Time Out
“ … funny and exhilarating … it is as dark and fruity as a Christmas cake with
nuts on top … if you have any Lemony Snicket fans of seven or over at home, it
would make a great, off-the-wall choice of outing … Gothic tales given
Pythonesque revue treatment.”
Rogues and Vagabonds
"Horla theatre company has a unique story-telling style ... a brisk theatrical
surprise and energy ... a highly enjoyable show."
ReviewsGate
" ... energetic, effervescent, hugely entertaining ... another fantastically
memorable production. You don’t have to be a fairytale fan to appreciate the
fact that Grimms is a Christmas cracker brimming over with delightful
surprises."
EXTRA! EXTRA!
"A wonderfully Grimm show ... If you see one show this Christmas then let it be
Horla's mesmerising and entertaining rendition of global fairy tales ... This
show is for all ages from six upwards, which can be appreciated on many levels
from the sublime to the ridiculous."
Local Guardian
" ... a refreshing take on the average Christmas show ... a mysterious mix of
the world's most loved folk tales ... If your kids are over six, put a couple of
tickets in Santa's sack this Christmas and give them a bit of gift-wrapped
culture. If you don't have kids, go anyway - it beats many of the big budget
shows on the West End hands, and puppet strings down."
