OLD MOTHER HUBBARD "It was an amazing production and gave the children the opportunity to see a skilled actor in action. They had a real ‘live theatre’ experience. Children talked about the production for days afterward and it gave rise to other activities such as role play and cooking."Drake Infant & Nursery School "Fantastic production yet again – please let us know what you are up to next." Horsford Infant School "This production was great fun and visually exciting, keeping the children focused and interested for the length of the performance. We would recommend them to similar settings." West Earlham Infant School |
| MAGNIFICENT FLYING MACHINE "The show was fantastic. It was accessible and enjoyable for the whole age range in the school. It was very visual which was a real bonus. Several staff commented that it was the best show yet." Hall School “Wow! Fabulous Performance! They were all so captivated and excited they could hardly sit still…even the kids!! Well done Garlic – especially Mark for a faultless performance!” J Aniston , Wootton Village Hall, North Lincolnshire |

GEORGE AND THE DRAGON "The production had the children and adults enthralled. The puppets were beautiful, well engineered and employed in original and creative ways. I have asked teachers for their comments and they were rather similar to the responses from pupils ie brilliant, first class, really engaging, suspended disbelief and took children onto another plain of imagination." Susan Day Head of Education Fakenham School Norfolk “I would like to thank you for your amazing performance. It was an overwhelming performance that met all expectations. All in all I would like to thank you for a fantastic time and memory in my life." Pupil from Clacton High School “The puppets were beautiful, well engineered and employed in original and creative ways. Teachers’ response was ‘brilliant, first class, really engaging, suspended disbelief and took children onto another plain of imagination’. Overall – money well spent, an exciting experience." Fakenham Junior School “The whole school enjoyed the performance. All adults present thought the production was superb – well made puppets, engaging performance by the two puppeteers, a value for money performance. The children were spellbound and responded to the cues, enjoying listening quietly and reacting noisily as appropriate. A thoroughly enjoyable morning." Hopton C of E VC First School |
| BILLY GOATS GRUFF “I took my son (3 years old) to the Norwich Puppet Theatre. It was the first time for both of us and we saw your excellent production of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. Thanks again for a great day that will last in both our memories and we look forward to seeing you perform again.” Christopher Stevens “They were excited, interested, fascinated, amused and hugely enjoyed the performance.” Drake Infant “Very visual, children captivated. Length was perfect for age group. Look forward to seeing next production.” West Earlham Infant “The atmosphere was electric as the children were greeted outside the Hall. The puppets, pace, scenery and level of audience participation were perfect.” Westfield Infant School “Fantastic, the adults loved watching the children’s faces/expressions as they were watching. Wonderful performance and puppets once again. Can’t wait until the next one!” Lakenham First School |

SORCERER'S APPRENTICE “Received with wonder and awe – As usual the show contained something for all of us and was extremely professionally presented. We were delighted to have our imaginations stretched once again.” Woodford Green Prep School “It was great – all staff and children thought it was very entertaining, amusing and lively – combination of puppets and music was perfect. Many thanks for a brilliant performance.” Newton Flotman C of E VC Primary School “I thought your puppet show was brilliant especially the magic tricks. I only have one question – how many different shows do you do?” A pupil from Caister Middle School |
| FIDDLESTICKS “The outlandish instrumental characters and their manipulator’s innate sense of comedy keeps the audience giggling to the beat, then beating a path to the stage at the end of the show, when they’re invited to meet the puppets.” Ronnie Haydon, Time Out “A lovely heartwarming show, brilliantly performed. Hope to see more”. Trinity Theatre “Clap, Stamp, Whistle, Cheer, Yahoo!! (Is that Clear!) Once again thank you for a superb entertainment – have we really got to wait another 2 years before you come back?” Great Barton Primary School “You managed to capture the attention of all the children from 4 – 11. An amazing feat!” Bawdeswell Primary School “The children sat spellbound for an hour – that says it all.” The Bawburgh School |
