"I loved The Escape Act! It is filled with unforgettable moments. The story is so clearly told and I found out so much more about this period of history than I knew before. My 12 year old daughter was equally captivated. We spoke about it for days afterwards.
​It is beautifully executed through the storytelling, circus, film footage and spoken elements. Take the young people you know and expand your knowledge around this period of time, that has so informed all the lives that have followed."

​- Claire Hodgson, MBE
Joint Artistic Director of Diverse City & Extraordinary Bodies
"I believe this show holds incredible value for audiences of every kind, particularly young audiences whose Holocaust education can be enriched by this unique and heartfelt show. It offers a moving blend of a historic story with the rippling effects on present generations, told
inventively using theatre, puppetry and circus. Our young people spoke about how they had never seen a show of this kind before and they went away feeling that they had learned so much, as well as parents of the young people and our adult community."
