Reviews
★★★★ "Their interactions are slick as they whisk us through the last few thousand years of deaf history, from the ridiculous restrictions and rules imposed upon deaf people in Ancient Greece, all the way up to deaf soldiers during World War One." A Younger Theatre
★★★★ "...the three performers Fifi Garfield, Naomi Gray and Nadeem Islam (two deaf and one a BSL/English Interpreter) bring charm and a great deal of versatility to their roles." WhatsOnStage
★★★½ "with Naomi Gray, a colourful and spirited presence on the fringe of every scene as Birdie, cleverly combining signing with participation in the action." The Reviews Hub
"Both [Clare-Louise English and Naomi Gray] were superb in their depiction of various characters, ranging from innocent Snow White and the wicked Queen, to bossy dwarves and comical cooks." The Limping Chicken
★★★½ "Clare-Louise English and Naomi Gray play their respective array of characters with great physicality, warmth, and humour. The chemistry between Gray’s exaggerated and eccentric Mirror and English’s cold and callous Evil Queen is a particular highlight." The Reviews Hub
