A one-man-show in a bookshop sounds boring, limited and unexciting. IT WAS EVERYTHING BUT ... The actors delivery was enthralling, the set used, as always by Creation, for best effect. Suddenly, you can be on the scary night-time streets of 19th century London and be looking over shoulder if someone is following when actually you are in Blackwell'sNorington room, in... More

Interesting concept we just had to see! Had an amazing time loved the setting and the closeness of the performers. It was a great ending to a sightseeing day, nice to do something different rather than the usual theater productions. Would highly recommend.

I saw their wonderful Christmas time panto in the gorgeous Mirror Tent (this was my first experience seeing an English panto and I will never forget it - cozily bundled up in blankets, sipping...

We love their enthusiasm, their quirky take on everything from Shakespeare to pants and suitable for the whole family. We have taken grandparents and teenagers and they all enjoy.

We've been to see several shows with Creation Theatre & always really enjoy them. The summer Shakespeare at Said Business School is always great & we took my family to Aladdin for the first time this year which was excellent. My niece and nephew (10 & 8) were spellbound and all the adults enjoyed it too. Never disappoint!

Its in the name, they give a creative lift to any of the productions. They perform in odd locations, this keeps the price down and gives an edge to the performances

Brilliant! I'm going again this week. Excellent and talented cast. The genie of the ring stole the show for me - her acrobat skills, her singing, dancing and acting deserve an Oscar!
