Reviews

Parents were weeping at the end as, whilst the company sang The Ship of Dreams, photographs of the victims were projected. To prevent applause immediately after the ending of the song, which somehow seemed inappropriate, the final slide was of a small child that cross-faded into a black slide bearing the word. Silence . . ..  After 15 or 20 seconds, the full lights came up and the cast enjoyed the applause. It was very poignant.?
