"I enjoyed the performance tremendously and so did everybody else that was there on Thursday"
Pat B
 
"...an excellent production by an amateur group which was certainly not, by any stretch of the imagination, an 'amateur' performance"
"The effects, lighting and acting were superb and the audience at the Saturday performance gave the director, cast and crew a standing ovation"
"There was also a queue of people leaving their e-mail addresses for future productions"
"Keep up the good work Stage Focus as I for one am - and I know several others are - looking forward to your next production"

M.Patterson
(printed in the Evening Chronicle, 23rd July 2003)
 
"Thrills to the maximum"
"A cracking cast gave high tempo performances"
"A smashing and bloody scary evening was had by all"
