Lots of nice comments from audience members who have seen ‘Festen’ already. We’ve taken a selection from those kind enough to post their comments on Facebook.
“It was extremely moving and is a tremendous production with performances that will haunt for a long time. I don’t know how to recommend it highly enough. This is a must see Crescent production and I look forward to watching again next Saturday. Have a great run.”
