I can’t tell you how much David and I enjoyed your John Aubrey at Richmond last night. It was a splendid production and we loved your interpretation of the character.

Excellent production. I was fully transported into John Aubrey’s world.

I was lucky to be in the audience for Brief Lives last night at Appleton Le Moors. I thought the production was excellent – enthralling from start to finish. The set detail was fantastic and really added to the performance. Given there was just one actor taking us through a day in his life, it was both captivating and entertaining. It was great to see so many people from all walks of life and ages together in our village hall. My husband and I have only lived here for 18 months, and did not expect to see acting or a production of this calibre here just 2 minutes walk from our home. Long may the Arts Council continue to fund this theatre company and others like this, to bring entertainment like this to rural areas. I have been at a lunch party today with many people who were there last night and they were still talking about the play and how much they had enjoyed it. I hope you will come back in the not too distant future. Thank you to all at Other Lives Productions for putting this play on at Appleton (Jackie) A real treat to have such an excellent evening’s entertainment in a moorland village.

Autumn 2016 revival
Fantastic piece of theatre – gripping, intimate. A very slick production. Feel very lucky to be able to see this in my little hamlet’s village hall. It’s high class enough to appear at the West Yorkshire Playhouse or any top London theatre, but travel to those places would be a problem for me – so a big thank you to all concerned – Neil King as John Aubrey, Richard Avery the director, and all the backroom/backstage staff (Ruth) Great Acting. Fantastic set. Would love to see another performance (Penny) Excellent, thoroughly enjoyed. Roll on the next one (Miranda) What fun. A creative set, perfect for the show.
