“There comes a happy point in children’s theatre when one can almost
forget the word ‘children’s’ and declare: This is real theatre, with an
appeal to all, from infant to octogenarian, in whom a sense of wonder
and a bright imagination are alive and well. So it is in David Wood’s
adaptation…” - Eastern Daily Press
“The show is
absolutely enchanting. It’s aimed at kids but the drama, the tension,
the humour, the lovable heroes and menacing villains, make it compelling
theatre for grown-ups too… a crackling good story, beautifully adapted
for the stage” - Evening News
“What marvellous theatre …
As for the denouement – well, children applauding Babe for driving the
sheep through the trial gate is just terrific theatre… First class.” - The Stage
“When
a packed theatre is chanting the lead character’s name at the end of a
production, it’s fair to assume you’ve got a hit on your hands. So it
was with Babe, The Sheep Pig as the hundreds of young children (and a few adults) acclaimed a masterful adaptation… A delight.” - Birmingham Evening Mail
“David
Wood’s script is the real star… The kids in the audience revelled in
the slapstick… Everyone got involved when Fly beseeched the crowd to
recall a password to help Babe… This production should inspire many more
across the country.” - Dallas Morning News
