Reviews
“Pupils from Years 1 to 6 enjoyed a stunning, powerful and superbly acted dramatic interactive show. ‘Lest We Forget’ was produced and performed by three actors from Mance Productions and really allowed the story of one man’s experience, which could apply to any one of the millions who fought in WW1, to be told.
The actors also brought home the relevance of the need to remember to fascinated, enthusiastic and highly responsive audiences in two sittings. Detailed and challenging questions from the pupils about the story, about the play, and, of course, about the Great War itself were fielded brilliantly by the young performers. A triumph of passionate story telling which evokes memories of War Horse, Private Peaceful and other Michael Morpurgo classics.”

“Jack and the Beanstalk was the best interactive panto, where children had the opportunity to go on stage several times. Every moment was interesting and exciting!”
Hermitage Primary School Tower Hamlets
“Last half term we had a pantomime come and entertain us. It was a modernised version of Jack and The Beanstalk. The entire school participated when the audience could, and laughed at all the jokes and funny moments. Everyone was pleased with this performance and seemed to really enjoy this special event. We hope they will come next year (even if we won’t be there to see it)”

“The performance of Cinderella by ‘Mance Productions’ captivated the group of ‘energetic’ 4 year olds for the whole performance. I’ll be booking for again without a doubt!”

“Amazing, hilarious, unbelievably funny, the children absolutely loved this production, as did the staff. A great tonic for all.”

“I have relied on the services of Mance Productions for the last five years both for the National Trust and the Museum of London. This company works well to a brief, develops thoughtful and engaging scripts and casts talented performers. Most importantly Mance Productions understand their audience. Performances are perfectly pitched, creative and absorbing – we always got enthusiastic feedback and invitations to return. Mance Productions projects were usually fully booked. I would recommend their services whole-heartedly.”
Clare Carlin – Academy Director of Museum Learning
