Gobland For The Goblins!

Gobland For The Goblins!

★★★☆☆    Playful:
Billed as a fantasy video game for older children and their families, writer-director James Beagon and Aulos Productions’ latest show sees them switch genres yet again. Gobland For The Goblins! is an interactive show with some very pleasing elements.

A Winter’s Oresteia

★★★☆☆ Bloody tragic:
