"When the play finally descended to its sorrowful climax, I can honestly say that I was moved. Taking a script by Shakespeare, interpreting it in a unique way, and performing it to a large seaside audience was always going to be a pleasure - making it an important event and wringing emotions from the onlookers was a feat that stepped far beyond expectation." The Newquay Voice

"The biggest laughs came from supporting characters rather than the tragic twosome. Juliet's nurse, a shrill-voiced pantomime dame, was all innuendo. Mercutio, a cockney-accented woman built like Bob Hoskins, is great in his death throes, but brilliant as a cheeky geezer of Verona." Newquay Voice

"Having had to endure "the good, the bad and the ugly, the long, the short and the tall" playing them throughout the years, I could have kissed both Romeo (Wesley Griffith) and Juliet (Catherine Lake) for behaving like teenagers in love, kissing as if they meant it and performing with passion." The Cornishman

"Wesley Griffith is a boisterous Romeo bursting with passion in an energetic performance that includes a bout of inconsolable hysteria at the news of Juliet’s demise." The Stage

"Few Juliets in the history of the play can have been more lovely, delicate and yet eagerly passionate as Catherine Lake. Looking more mid-teens than the mid-20s she is, Catherine approaches her role with just the right balance of coy and comely." Western Morning News

"The cast was uniformly excellent, though Ben Dyson's nurse deserves a special mention, owing, as he did, more than a smidgeon to Monty Python." Gazette and Herald
