Audience reactions to the show ...

"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your recent production of Lark Rise at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. My wife and I saw the production on a very damp and misty Wednesday evening..
Really well done: it was a joy to watch."

"The rain held off for another great production for the Minack, well done Tower Theatre, a most enjoyable evening. The music was fantastic, as were the individual performances. Look forward to seeing you back at Minack soon."

"Despite the weather we thoroughly enjoyed our first anniversary trip to Minack last night, and I especially enjoyed Lark Rise as it is one of my favourite books. I expect us to return for some other shows in the future. Well done."

"Many many thanks for putting on a thoroughly enjoyable performance of Lark Rise that left us enthralled from start to finish.
Where to start? Well, it has always been our intention to come to the Minack and when we saw that Lark Rise was to be performed, what better route to temptation? ;o)
And so when the clouds finally parted on the day of the show, we just knew this was a sign of great things to come. We weren't to be disappointed.
This was our first visit to ANY theatre in all of our 20 odd years of marriage and to be greeted by such courteous and enthusiastic staff, we just knew this was a good call. The setting, as expected, was up there in Gobsmack territory and everything was set for a great evening's entertainment. OK the dolphins never showed but the gannets did their best as stand-ins ;o)
Many thanks too must be expressed to the Tower Theatre Company for such an impressive performance. You guys brought the characters to life as we hoped; and then some. Well done! We hope your visit to the Duchy and to play at such a unique venue has left a great impression; individually and collectively. It must have. Consequently, you will be on our list of future attendance should you return. We look forward to it!"
