"TiE It Up Theatre...exceeded all of my expectations with a stunningly sensitive and entertaining performance... highly recommend the company"

"The students and I were completely inspired and spent the afternoon sharing creative ideas for their written paper.

The detail in their responses was evident and that’s all down to how much TiE It Up affected them."

“50 KS4 and 50 Year 9s sat enthralled, impressed and ultimately moved by the performance…

you’ve just made our exam prep for component 3 more of a pleasure”

“An extremely professional and accommodating company. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”

"It’s incredible... It really is... the lighting and sound and different shots and close ups all add so much to what's already such a powerful production. The cast are so committed and so good. There's too much to say! The bits of Tim and me at the start and end are so well edited too and I think will give it that bit more impact too, but what will really cap it off is real Dan at the end filling the screen. Honestly everyone is just so good. Alice is played so incredibly well - that sort of anguish and guilt and her defence of Dan is so strong - and Jack is done so brilliantly and Jenna and of course Tim and me, and Dan is a bit of Dan. You've all done so well by us all."

Wow... it's wonderful and completely lives up to the high expectations I had for it. Well done. All the performances are wonderful and so clear! What I am so pleased about is that it looks like one of my plays without my having been any part of it. Very proud indeed to have you guys becoming my legacy! I think it's an incredible interpretation and very different to what's gone before. Please pass on to your performers and team. It's a wonderful thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
