4star review from The Guardian

Posted by Simon Bedford (Marketing & Touring Manager, Hoipolloi)

Waking up in Bogota this morning, I receive some fantastic news from the Hoipolloi base back in the UK. Thursday evening's performance was witnessed by Lyn Gardner, one of the Guardian's theatre critics, and here's just a taste of what she thought:

"The wonderful Hoipolloi is our leading purveyor of theatrical whimsy with shows such as Floating and Story of a Rabbit. This brief evening - childlike, but not childish and aimed at all ages - takes the 14 rhyming couplets of one of Gorey's best-known stories and transforms them into a piece of visual theatre that captures all the Victorian pastiche, fantastical imagination and ominous air of Gorey's original."

You can read the full 4star review here.

And for good measure, here's a few more production shots from the show!

Happy Easter!
