Arts Council Audience feedback:
"Just wanted to say Congratulations on your Sherlock's Poisons at Portsmouth Round Tower last night. The quality of acting was terrific. I went not knowing what to expect and was really surprised and impressed by both the acting and the writing. And the casting. The actors chosen were just perfect. And it was particularly impressive and entertaining to see two of them slip so easily and convincingly into completely different persona."
"We loved the show!"
"THANKS very much for a very entertaining evening!"
"I loved bringing Conan Doyle into the play and learning about his medical history. VERY funny his experimentation with the drug!!!!"
"Really fun evening. I was also very moved by the portrayal of Sherlock Holmes."
"Excellent show - I enjoyed that!"
