The Guardian (Josephine Leask)

"I really enjoyed it, as did my friend who had never really seen anything in this field before."
Rohane, Nottingham.

"Abalino's theatre is kind, human"
"Funny, always ingenious; exactly the kind of hybrid which should be used as bait for larger audiences. I want quite nakedly to say you should go and see them any chance that you get."
Animations Magazine (John Ellingsworth)

"The audience itself was a mix of both adults and children. It was a pleasure to watch the children believe and enjoy most of what they saw... The production as a whole received a positive reaction form all members of the audience and deservedly so for the company definitely made me at times question exactly what was real and they achieved this through using the art of both dance and puppetry."
LCD Features (Anna Kelner)

A "new name on the UK puppetry to look out for"
Animations Magazine (Dorothy Max Prior)
