Audience Testimonials for Fragments 2010

'A very powerful play depicting the dependency of the modern technology we have come to rely on. Fragments, very cleverly intertwines the current socio economic climate with the very core of human nature bringing a stark realisation that this is a very fragile world. Fragments, was thought provoking and extremely enjoyable.'
Sue Clarke

'I have to say I was blown away! It was without a doubt an original concept that anyone would feel moved by. I would gladly bring my family and friends to watch this performance and I very much look forward to the next original performance they bring to the stage!'
Kayleigh Ashworth

'When I saw the performance I was struck by the attention to expressive detail in what you were all projecting, focusing me on both your bodies and faces. Wonderfully photogenic!

It had a dark background, with full use of the stage space and beautiful lighting. I thought the overall movement, mime and story was a brilliant composition piece, staged with positive intention to enthral and provoke. Parts of it mimicked our daily routines and humdrum aspects to our lives while other sequences seemed to laud our mere existence, as individuals and a group. The 'cars' scene where three of you are held aloft and 'ported around and between each other reminded me of my life in the city, driving, the competitive and ugly side of being on the roads, but also the joy of mobility and lust for getting there. I think it's the sort of piece that could be re-watched and notice more the third and fourth times around, and I hope I get the chance to do this sometime when you next perform this piece.'
