"There are wonderful puppets, masks, and improvised costumes with good singing, dancing and enjoyment for all. It’s free and on the enchanting embankment near London Bridge which is a special delight for a summer’s day or night. The stone benches are built like a Greek Amphitheatre surrounding the City Hall. It is well acted, sung, danced and directed giving pleasure for the whole family." London Theatre Review

"It is starkly directed and well acted in its high potency content which is so perfectly suited to the amphitheatre with enough production values. Where else in London is there a professional production of Greek drama in an amphitheatre available for free? Not even the National’s Phedre can do better." London Theatre Review

It is a place that breeds suspicion. The fire-starters are rubbing their sooty hands together. This is the perfect place to light a fire. This is the perfect place to burn down to the ground.....
