REVIEW EXTRACTS
A company of idiosyncratic vision and promise.
The Guardian **** (Helium)
And the dioramas you enter (they include a miniature cinema and the bomb-chamber of a WW2 bomber) are wonderful, combining the art of film and the homespun, heartfelt craft of theatre with wistfulness and wit.
Time Out ***** (Helium)
This is a rewarding, imaginative exploration of the value of letting go.
Metro **** (Helium)
