Testimony:

"The students were extremely lucky to see such slick and detailed physical theatre storytelling. Hopefully this will lead to inspiring the next generation of theatre makers to follow in their footsteps.” Head of Drama, Bromsgrove School.

"After seeing Spies Like Us perform Woyzeck at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018, I simply had to share it with my A Level Drama students - their work is original, slick and stylised. Having the opportunity to watch a recording of the play as well as seeing it live really helped my students as they were able to analyse and evaluate the work in detail. They have brought Buchner’s text to life in a way which has inspired and intrigued my students and for that I am grateful.” - Holly Adams. Head of Drama, St Bede’s Catholic College.
