Robert Miller: “Even in these days of sophisticated film animation and special effects, these theatres still have a special place in many cultures and no doubt people will be able to see the traditional characters for many more years. Although some of us think of these objects as children’s entertainment, they were – and often still are – used to tell serious stories to adult audiences”.

John Norman: “There isn’t a single spare seat in the house and elegant music lovers are packed in the hall, listening attentively.

Olga Gromova: “The performance is almost too perfect – resembling a polished masterpiece rather than a slice of real life.”
