Our Review:

Damian Robson - 17 May 2013

Live Theatre celebrates its 40th birthday and Live Witness is a celebration of the building and the work of the many people who have made it what it is today.

After a very stressful week I really didn’t fancy a night out at Live Theatre. What I wanted was to relax and sleep. But I agreed to go, so go, I went! I am so pleased I did, because afterwards I felt energised, full of happy thoughts and memories and felt elated.

I first encountered ‘Live Theatre’ when they toured “Kidder’s Luck”. Then, as now, theatre made sense through their brilliant storytelling; it spoke with a language I understood. All the actors brought lights, costume and props from their touring van, set up the show, did two performances and cleared it all away. I knew then not only from the brilliance of the performance, but from the collaboration of the cast/crew, that that was theatre was about, real theatre! Honest and vital.

Move on almost forty years and I’m here again, singing the praise...
