I went last night to see this show and it was amazing! I only know a couple of people in this show vaguely, so have no vested interest in presenting this review. Really want to let you know that this is a "must see" production. Everything about the show worked so well. Special mention must go to the set as it really uses every inch of the confined Stirling Stage and wing space. This show is so heart renching. The actors pour out every emotion in this show and have worked so hard to make it memorable. Direction is brilliant! Must single out the two leads, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Amazing rapport with each other and being so real to the characters. Kaitlyn's focus was amazing, and she convincingly played a 6-7 year old. Not once did she break role. Congratulations to the whole cast for the most brilliant show I have seen for years! In the final scene I was balling my eyes out, which is unusual for me at a play. The tech was faultless. Overall an outstanding show. Congratulations to Director Simon James and everyone involved in this production.

The Miracle Worker at Stirling Player

I Always enjoy seeing local productions but some times there is on that just raises the bar and this is one of those. On It's opening night the cast and crew put on a flawless performance and the precision of the lighting and sound doubled the experience. And yes the final scene left almost everyone (well me at least) with a tear in their eyes and I drove home felling emotional and fulfilled. This is one I'll be going back to see again
