- THE FAMOUS FIVE: A NEW MUSICAL
- Chichester Festival Theatre
- ★★★★★ - The Times, Tamara Harvey… has created something astonishing here; a rip-roaring adventure story that simultaneously punctures the heart. With the writer Elinor Cook she has excavated the freedom, daring and vulnerability from Blyton’s stories, allowing us to see what’s apparently dated as a brave — and very funny — new world.
