Round-up: Audience Reactions
Wow – what a month we have had! We’ve enjoyed every second of Brighton Festival 2019, and we hope you had a blast too. Here's a quick look back at what audiences had to say...
Flight
“Flight was deeply moving, breathtakingly beautiful and utterly necessary work of storytelling. Everyone should see it to understand the real-life experience of young people fleeing war and oppression and seeking shelter in Europe. Good art should leave you questioning the world – Flight made me want to take immediate action”
A Child of Our Time
“An outstanding performance, full of intense emotion, context and meaning”
Rokia Traoré: Dream Mandé: Djata
"Captivating. Magical. She had the whole theatre spellbound and listening with complete focus. Beautiful. Thank you, Rokia."
Still I Rise
"Another refreshingly free from boring stereotypical gender roles. Hooray! A diverse and talented group of female performance who were skilful, graceful and powerful. I loved this show."
True Copy
"Utterly absorbing, a calm and gentle story which gradually unwinds revealing more and more layers. The brilliant BERLIN create another very human, real world gem."
The Nature of Why
"It was mesmerising and aurally and visually beautiful. I felt so close to the performance and the performers. It felt intimate and personal.”
Silence
“A stunning and powerful portrayal of war, invasion and terror. It’s one of the best things I’ve seen on this subject”
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“Fabulous performance! Brilliant cast, beautiful voices and some truly hilarious moments. Laughed till I cried”
Backbone
“Absolutely amazing! Beautiful, poignant, funny and totally breathtaking! A dramatic showcase of human physicality, which was a joy to watch! The performers really looked like they were living their best lives!”
My Left Right Foot: The Musical
“Genuinely blown away by how good this show was. Hilarious performances from everyone, and so well written with some really thought-provoking ideas on inclusion”
