★★★☆☆ Written with a certain amount of sentimentality around a lost love the play offers us false trails; is it about rekindled passion, perhaps in an open relationship, or then is it about past indiscretion, a coming home to roost of an abuse of authority or position? It eventually turns out to be a wistful contemplation on a secret love affair.

★★★☆☆ The nature of the piece makes it difficult to generate any real tension, but the cast make up for it with some witty cameos. It’s an example of a genre that sets out to do nothing but entertain and that it does with some style.

★★★★☆ Jon Monie is the consummate panto pro. With possibly the jiggliest eyes in the business – with an ability to make them appear attached to their sockets by nervous springs – he has, more importantly the skill to be able to sell a lame gag like few other performers. . . With colourful sets and costumes, songs, dancing, flying and someone to boo with glee what more could you want from a panto?
