Press Reviews

"A first rate show for children … colourful, entertaining and thought-provoking."

— Sunderland Echo

"Wonderfully astute conception."

— Northern Echo

"Although Save the Human does not miss out a thing environmentally, it still avoids the danger of preaching to a young audience. A cartoon-style staging, mime, music, audience participation and a splattering of slapstick all add up to a play that is visually stimulating as well as intelligent. The young audience waved their animal masks and sang, booed and hissed at the evil Professor Rhino, and were completely carried along with Becky Bear’s campaign to Save the Human."
