Thank you for the wonderful show that we really enjoyed. It was really interesting staging of the book and I liked a lot that you decided not to modernise the story too much but rather stay with Dostoevsky’s story. I was surprised how close it was to my reading as well, as most of the philosophical questions highlighted in the play are the ones that I remember very clearly from the book. It was so interesting to listen to it all in English with various English accents and coming from non-Russian people who looked so Russian on the stage….. I was really impressed by the acting, the ability to show such different characters within a few seconds span. All the characters were so psychologically deep and real and believable and still very lovely to look at and listen to and some even really amusing.

What an amazing achievement!!!!!!!!! This academic work (which it truly is) must have taken hours and hours of study. An incredible undertaking ~ well done. We were so glad we came and we loved the venue. The many changes of character were done well and caused no confusion.

Crime and Punishment was certainly a tour de force…..an emotional experience of the first magnitude. Judging by the faces of other members of the audience when we were there, they, like us, felt deeply involved in all that was taking place on the stage - while thanking their lucky stars they didn't live in 19th century Russia. The cast was superb. Magnifique, nothing less.

Congratulations and thanks for a wonderful evening at Baron's Court. A 'tour de force' and no mistake!

Magnificent performances – thoroughly enjoyed the show on Tuesday. A monumental task to get the story across without creating an epic of multitudinous story lines. The themes were clear and well presented.

Congratulations on your achievement in completing such a successful tour. I know what a great deal of hard work went into it but I hope you were rewarded by the obvious pleasure you brought to audiences in and around London. The actors’ performances were, without exception, first class; costumes were brilliant; direction made perfect use of the Barons Court theatre space; and, last but not least, this was the perfect adaptation of this classic. Jane Austen would have been delighted. It goes without saying that we would be extremely pleased to see Myriad Productions return to Barons Court!

I managed to get to the performance last Friday which I greatly enjoyed. Your adaptation of the book was splendid; it cannot have been easy to extract such a clear and consistent storyline from a complex novel and get it to work with only a limited number of players. You will certainly be welcome to return in 2009 and I have no hesitation at all in recommending Myriad Productions.

We were fortunate to present Mryriad Production's version of Pride and Prejudice recently in the Wren Theatre at Letchworth Arts Centre. The audience loved it and sat with smiles on their faces through out the whole production. It was a most professional, energetic and very clever production. With most of the cast playing at least three parts it was a challenge that would daunt many groups, but not these young people. With simple costume and wig changes they rose to the challenge and changed their character as quickly as they changed their clothes. Very convincing. A truly delightful evening and we all hope they come back soon.

The calibre of the multi-faceted cast was superb and they brought new humour and sparkle to Jane Austen’s legendary tale. “It’s so good I don’t want to it end!” the woman next to me whispered during the second act. And I had to agree with her. A male friend of mine said he’d rather chew off his own leg than endure anything Austen-related, but this play had been flawlessly adapted for the stage and afterwards even he admitted that he had been highly entertained. So book your tickets and support this talented new production company! You can’t go wrong!

It was well worth a trip (and expense!) to London. I thought the play was wonderful and the actors so very talented. It was such a clever performance, too, making such brilliant use of the minimum props. The acting itself was excellent and it was hard to believe, sometimes, that there were only 5 of them, so versatile were they. I had a good chortle, too, and was so very sorry when the evening ended. Wishing you all the very best with the production - I hope to see your next one somewhere, some time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this production of Pride and Prejudice. Superb, prodigiously versatile acting together with clear costumes and props enabled the audience to identify the characters instantly. Joanna O'Connor's adaptation for five players of Jane Austen's novel is a masterpiece. The script seamlessly conveyed all necessary information without compromising natural conversation and humour one iota. Ingatestone Hall was a perfect setting for this thoroughly professional production but I hope Myriad will spread their impressive talents into Buckinghamshire. I look forward to many more of their performances.

Very enjoyable production. My wife and I were a little worried as it became apparent that just 5 actors would cover all roles, but in the end they carried it off with ease - aided by numerous wig & costume changes! The essential humour of Austen's work came through well & the cast appeared to enjoy what they were doing, which helped create a good humoured atmosphere in the theatre. Recommended as a good night out & certainly one that is guaranteed to bring in brownie points if you take the wife / girlfriend / mistress along.

Really, really enjoyed it. Two and a half hours never went so fast and what a perfect venue Ingatestone Hall is. I went full of prejudice as to who would be playing Lizzy and Darcy but both were absolutely perfect. And as for Mr Collins! So funny – we couldn’t help but cheer when he and Lizzy danced. I’m going again in London!

Great evening at the Curtain's up as I saw my favourite story bought to life on stage for the first time. Cleverly done with 5 actors, punchy script writing well adapted for the stage so kept the audience enthralled.

A most attractive stage couple. They possess the looks to be convincing with outstanding vocal gifts and well judged sensitivity both to each other and to their various author’s intentions. A delightful, well-prepared and thoroughly engrossing theatrical experience.

It’s astounding how two young people mesmerise an audience for 90 minutes with all but no props, scenery or supporting cast. The performance was nothing short of inspirational – brilliant...A unique experience and a fantastic evening.

Both actors give highly polished and believable performances as they move effortlessly from one great scene to the next, acting out each with maturity, style and great passion. Their individual talents mesh together superbly. She lives and breathes her lines, moving swiftly from coquettish taunting to unrequited passion. He is tall, aloof and Heathcliffish, playing indifference and yearning with equal excellence.

Thank you so much for your unique fund raising effort and the generous gift to our charity. The production at Ingatestone Hall was fabulous and made me feel very proud that you had done it for us.
