Flying Coach and Horse
What ‘The Stage’ said about our flying coach and horse when it was hired for the 2006/7 season by Norwich Theatre Royal:
If you want them to come back for the second act, you have to send the audience off to the interval on a high. That is something the Norwich Theatre Royal achieves admirably, with one of the best pantomime horses in Pantoland. As the winged thoroughbred hauls Cinderella’s coach off the stage into a sky filled with fireworks, the effect is truly magical.
The Stage – December 2006
A letter from one visitor to Loughborough Town Hall (2004/5 season) on seeing our flying coach and horse during our production of Cinderella:
‘My two were totally amazed at the horse and carriage and when it started to fly and come towards the audience, Abigayle (aged 4) was open mouthed and said ‘Nana – it’s really flying’. She was truly amazed.’

Animatronic Giants
What ‘The Stage’ said in December 2006 about our giants in Jack and the Beanstalk for the 2006/7 hire season
“an impressive giant”
re: Marlow Theatre, Canterbury
“They reckon they’ve got the biggest giant in pantoland, and he probably is –his lumbering entrance sent the small child next to me diving under the seat”
re: Loughborough Town Hall
