NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Any chance of a refund? I was wishing I was dead to get me.out of this am dram rip off! Overacted, could have done with a storyline as well and why do most of the cast appear only 10 mins from the end? Seriously poor value for a professional touring production Save your cash for the panto. Its better value than this drivel.

DISAPPOINTING

Only one actor shone in this creaky production. Clive Mantle was believable, sadly the other actors were caricatures. The ridiculously overmelodramatic music at the end of each scene was a failed attempt at lending this inferior production a gravitas it did not merit.

DISAPPOINTING

Wish we had read the reviews before booking. We weren’t sure if it was being played as a farce or thriller. We liked Giovanna but agree she needs some more training with her voice projection. Clive Mantle came across a bit like grandad in Only Fools and Horses…. At least we had a large G&T at the interval

REALLY POOR

well, i’ve not seen/heard two such shouty lead actors. If the actors can’t project their voices without shouting then don’t cast the,. £85 for two tickets for a play equivalent to a 6th form production is taking the proverbial. come on , get a grip

WISH YOU WERE DEAD BRIGHTON

Extremely disappointed as this was not the experience we expected at all.Giovanna Fletcher came across as very amateur and shouted her way through the play. The sound level was terrible. We were in Stalls row M. Clive Mantle also overacted . My husband has read all of the Grace series and feels there wasn't enough content in the storyline to support a theatre production. Something was very wrong with this production which is particularly disappointing as we've seen all the other Grace productions and thoroughly enjoyed them.

WISH YOU WERE DEAD

I have seen all the Grace series productions to date,and found them extremely good, I am afraid I cannot say the same about this one. The lead actors shouted their way through this performance, I do not know why? I have never experienced this at this theatre so have to put it down to poor acting. I feel there was not enough content in the story line for this production. From my point of view I have to ask why Clive Mantle and his cohort found the need to march around the stage pointing their firearm in peoples faces , it was ridiculous, sorry!

I DID WISH I WAS DEAD.

My partner and I came to watch this production. I truly wished that we sat outside, the noise that the two main actors made would have been heard outside. The story line was weak and so predictable. What an utter waste of money. Ps. Asking for donations for the police was an insult, asking them to do their job would have been better! Awful show, waste of money.
