A tremendous success!
Met Arts Centre
Their terrific new play strikes all the right chords and is elegantly performed by Magic Carpet Theatre Company. This enchanting show is pure magic.

Having sold out both performances I am sure I made the right decision in booking Magic Carpet Theatre to open our new series of Children's Theatre.

I have been involving children with Magic Carpet since the 1990s. Every single show is outstanding. Every show is different and I am continually impressed with the interaction between the performers and the audience. The ability and desire for impromptu interaction is a rare quality these days - the desire to allow children to participate is a refreshing change in this 'top-down' world. In this production, though extremely well written and performed, the children shine. I cannot do anything else than strongly recommend Magic Carpet to absolutely everyone. i have seen them work with 300 children and also with 75 in large halls and small halls. My advice - book them now before it's too late! Many thanks Magic Carpet for bringing a bit of Magic back into education- for everyone!

The Herald
Keeps the audience enthralled and the children on the edge of their seats... the special effects and illusions are of Magic Circle quality.

Magic Carpet at the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton. For scores of parents Magic Carpet provided the solution to what to do in the six-week-long summer break. This fun show had the packed audience roaring out loud for the full 75 minutes keeping them all thoroughly entertained
