Hercules and lion-skin My students benefited from the way you put the different stories together, from the way the stories were expressions of our humanity - albeit the bestial side of our humanity - thus giving them a sense that theatre helps us to understand human nature. And they enjoyed the physical way in which the story was created.

I was delighted with their reactions which reinforced my feelings about theatre and the way we want it to develop in our school.

I would say it is suitable for year 10 and above - I'd even say it is suitable for year 9s who are very interested in theatre.

Looking forward to seeing you again - the Singapore students loved it - they wanted to see physical theatre and it made their trip.

Hercules and lion-skin The company offers students a vision of how to make exciting devised theatre with minimal set, costume and props, but masses of invention, energy and creative use of dramatic techniques and conventions. multi story people the stage with clearly-defined characters that spring to life, often in unexpected ways. Perfect for A Level, Diploma and foundation degree students.

Hercules and lion-skin Year 11 students were enthralled for the full 70 mins. Captivated by characters that changed in front of their eyes, stories that unravelled only then to tangle into a web of half known truths, myths of a misty past and a harsh reality of the present. Leaving them wondering, questioning and entertained. The resulting reviews for the Ed Excel portfolio are an insight into the way young people think, written with considerable fervour and a credit to multi story and their talent to enthrall the teenager. Nothing short of magnificent.

Hercules and lion-skin I saw this show at a secondary school & booked it immediately for a village hall show.

A clever, witty piece with a great mix of thoughtfulness and physicality and a large range of local & "classical" references.
