  • “Thank you all so much for a fantastic afternoon - it was brilliant and deserves to be a sell-out. The Beck sisters would be so proud.”

    “What a fantastic show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you all.”

    “What a great opening night it was!! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. A mix of history and fun and great performances all round. Thank you Ted Gooda and the whole cast and crew.”

    “Thank you all for a very enjoyable evening on Saturday.

    I am in awe of the amount of work that went into the writing, directing and production and acting of this play. As a Trustee and BDS member for over 40 years I do appreciate all the blood sweat and tears that goes into such a production.

    Please pass on my thanks to everyone or a very successful run.

    I would also like to add how lovely it was to see some new young faces. I hope they will be on stage again soon.”

    “Just to let you and your colleagues know how much we enjoyed the play yesterday evening. It was very well written and so interesting from a social history point of view. Also of course well acted as usual and good to see so many actors taking part.”

    “I just wanted to say how fantastic your Beck & Calling production was - it was a brilliantly entertaining evening, I loved it! I thought the sketches were wonderful and the main event incredible - totally engrossing, witty & warm, but also really moving. I found the scene where the women all emerged after census night and gave their reasons for ‘disappearing’ incredibly emotional. Huge congratulations!”

    “I really loved that. It came together so brilliantly in the ‘reasons’ scene near the end. Very moving. Lovely stuff. That scene is very much your ‘I am Spartacus/Oh captain, my captain’ moment and it’s so well earned and well crafted.”

    “Fanbloodytastic! What a brilliant night. The set was fabulous, and the costumes, as well as the play itself.”

    “Just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed your very well written play. What a fantastic homage to the Beck sisters, the Women’s Hall and the suffrage movement in general.”
