Bryon Fear

The Night Heron is one of the best plays I’ve read in many years. A play that is transportative and takes you into a world you’d never ordinarily find yourself; a tale which walks a tightrope between the very ordinary and a League of Gentlemen-esque darkness which is gently brought to life by an array of characters you will love and hate ... (but mostly love).

I was at a stumble through tech rehearsal last night and I must say, despite the stopping and starting, the corpsing and some failed lighting cues, it was a delight - extremely funny in places and I will go out on a limb here and say that everyone has brought their A-Game to the direction, acting and overall design.

SLT was in full plumage last night with the Night Heron. Lisa Thomas’s vision is immersive and meticulous and the performances from the cast are extraordinary. This is a show that will stay with you and follow you home. Don’t miss it!


Will Howells

Excellent stuff all round from The Night Heron gang! Every element of the production spot on and of course that includes the fantastic cast. Great work!


Saffy Andrews

Glad I got to see 'The Night Heron' last night, what a talented bunch and the set was lovely. Anyone who hasn't had a chance to see 'The Night Heron' what are you even doing.

Give it a watch, so silly not to. Break a leg for the rest of the shows XxxxX
