Utterly brilliant.

Cannot remember an other production where I've never slipped concentration away from the stage. Dark and humerous, inventive and challenging.

If it goes on tour, go see it.
It is simpler than it looks.

Saw it last night with Little Cudzo. Mrs Cudzo rejected it on the grounds of being a pantomime - but it's not. It manages to be, perhaps not even a children's story for adults but an adults' story for children. Little was alternately on the edge of his seat with excitement, on mine with fear (Tinker Bell's first appearance he accurately described as "creepy" but she ended up his favourite character), laughing and clapping. Last night tomorrow, go and see it if you can, and if it goes on tour to whereveryouare, go and see it then. As for me, I found it so wonderful, it's convinced me to go to the theatre as often as possible.
