Public Feedback

I saw the show last night and really enjoyed it. I had only really gone to see the theatre, as I am directing a play going on there later in the year, but I was delighted to see such an enjoyable and genuinely funny show.
Looking forward to your next one. Good luck with the tour.
Ronan Paterson – Rondo Theatre, Bath

We've just been to see 'You Don't Need to Know That' at the Rondo Theatre in Bath and absolutely loved it!
What a fantastic show: witty, inventive, energetic, somuch fun to watch - Angus, Mark and Clare were obviously having loads of fun performing it (the librarian and judge were particular favourites) and the audience fed on that, the atmosphere was fabulous. So, so, good - we had such a great evening.
Thank you for such a fab production!
Sarah Larmour & Dan Shearn – Rondo Theatre, Bath

That was a lovely show - beautifully directed!
I loved the scenes with the policemen collecting evidence, and the trial. Great use of set...It got loads of laughs throughout.

Just to say, tonight was totally random and totally brilliant at Soham Pavilion. Your cast were inspirationally absorbing and I feel this evening will last on and on, bringing me many more smiles as I recall snippets over the years.
Many thanks!
Rowena Watts – Soham Pavillion, Soham

THANK YOU!
I’ve just come back from watching ‘you don’t need to know that…’ at the Hawth theatre Crawley and I thought it was brilliant!
It was hilarious and very clever. I would like to congratulate you and the rest of the cast and crew on it! The best piece of theatre me and my friends have seen in a very long time. Once again thank you.
Conor Ashby – The Hawth, Crawley


I am writing this email to say a big thank you. I attended the met last night with my manager and residents from the home we both work. As a therapist working with people with emotional and psycological problems the show that we watched last evening did more therapy in that short time than I believe can be done in weeks of sessions.
Not one of the residents had dry eyes (crying with laughter) for the full 1 and 1/2 hours of the show, everyone. I have never been to the met and would never even have thought of going. I know after last night performance I will be a regular, and i will be inviting all my friends to start having regular evenings out there. i believe all to often that people are only to easy to complain and very rarely to thank. Please pass on my thanks to 3 wonderful entertainers (actors not sure what to call them he he) as you see i am still chuckling once again thank you
Jose Jackson – The Met, Bury

Please tell us what you thought of the show.
Excellent, very professional. The stage set was extremely imaginative, the actors all played their parts brilliantly and the lighting and effects were wonderful. Well done to them all.

How did the show go down with your audience?
Excellent feed back. Lots of laughter and audience participation.

Digby Chacksfield – Director of Arts in Camb rural touring
I really enjoyed the show - superb quality and supremely executed by a very strong cast. The venue I went to was in a fairly well to do part of Cambridgeshire where the audience had traditional ideas of what theatre is and was a bit suspicious at first. It was great to see the audience won over and giving three encores at the end. All venues loved the show and would welcome a return from Gonzo Moose.

I think it’s a lovely show. Funny, inventive, skilled and accessible without being bland. Some excellent comedy performances.

Rebecca Townsend – Maltings Arts Theatre, St Albans
Please tell us what you thought of the show.
She thought it was excellent. She said it was original, funny and thoroughly engaging, and she would love to see more of your work, and it has inspired her to read “The Trial”.

How did the show go down with your audience?
It went down very well. Many of the audience members commented on how much they enjoyed it and asked us to let them know if you come back again.

Craig Morrow – Brewhouse, Taunton

Fantastic. I felt the performers gelled together really well producing a slick, well-staged and hilarious show.
How did the show go down with your audience?
Despite their small size the audience were very loud in their applause and there were positive comments as they left the auditorium.

Andy Burden – The Rondo, Bath

Original, Dynamic, funny accessible and innovative

Helen Phipps - St Peter’s Collegiate School, Wolverhampton as part of Black Country Rural Touring Scheme
Please tell us what you thought of the show.
Superb! I brilliant rendition of a Kafkaesque tale (with a few more laughs!). The piece was brilliantly executed by a highly skilled ensemble. The inventive use of minimal set, interwoven seamlessly with the action, was a joy: effective, clever and non-intrusive. All of the performers were equally matched in their fine performances and balanced the many moments of comic mastery with beautifully isolated instances of true pathos.
How did the show go down with your audience?
Whilst the audience numbers were disappointingly small, those that attended were totally engaged and found the show very funny. There was a good rapport with the audience and it was nice to see performers responding in the moment to the audience – one of the real joys of live theatre, hopefully for performer and audience member alike.

Emma Doleman – Forest Arts Centre, New Milton
How did the show go down with your audience?
We had excellent comments back from one of the schools involved - that it was very accessible and excellent for helping young people feel comfortable about going to the theatre. Good comments in book - not specifically from our ‘standard’ audience.
