Loved it loved it loved it just like the film and if you are a London taxi driver will bring back lots of memories

Peter Mould

Very enjoyable, engaging and good fun. Well acted we especially liked the main man. Where we were seated in the side balcony meant we had a slightly restricted view. We didn’t expect because the website when we ordered said unrestricted view. However this did not marr our enjoyment of the performance too much. Thanks for a good time.

It was a really good production with a top quality cast. The venue was intimate and had a great ambience. All in all a very good experience.

Mr J E Brownlee

Disappointed. Although the acting was to a high standard the play was slow and dull. Luckily it is quite short. Definitely not worth the money.

Michael Dilley
