'It (the performance) was one of the best that I have witnessed to date, highly enjoyable, and which demonstrated your talent in bringing out the best in the individuals concerned and in giving them self-esteem and self worth, where often there is none.
I always look forward to each performance in the knowledge that it will both delight and amaze us, and because each one is always of the highest standard possible'

Julie Livingston, Head of Learning and Skills, HMP Dartmoor.

'This was outstanding in every way. The whole tape was engrossing from beginning to end… you educated and informed me and I can only say I feel encouraged that you are working together to start new lives'
