[gelluprik]

I loove Gisli örn, the guy who plays Don John!! I would really like to see this play, and I love the song!!

[ETIDiot82588]

ive never seen a bad kneehigh play! theyre all so good. good writers, actors, songwriters and musicians!

[crimbomania]

Saw it in Stratford, it was really good, a very good adaptation of the original story. Also saw Hansel and Gretal which was also amazing and very well done, check out videos for Tristan and Ysuelt, their best play to daet.

[triso007]

[dragant1958]

[RuthColclough]

[naomislittleworld]

what music is used in this video? probably KneeHigh themselves :)

Went to see Brief Encounters by KneeHigh- possibly the best theatre I have ever seen! truly wonderful. They are a very talented company.

[mistressabyss]

I loved it! They should tour again! I want to go and see it again! Ahhh! Or they should release it on DVD....

[samandraddie]

[amyrollin]

I watched this for my year 12 theatre, it was fantastic; loved it :)

[SummonInThunder]

Looks Breathtaking....

[BlackR0seEm0]

The Play was amazing!!

i went to see it with my school and we all loved it (:

the songs and performance were amazing (:

[ladyoftheisland]

i saw this in Charleston at Spoleto last night and got to dance with Don John at the end of the performance. I may never be the same........

[RustyIris]

I don't think I would be either =P

[spinkydoodle101]

lol i got to dance with one of the characters aswell, my friend danced with don john.

[toperr1]

you can't possibly be serious....I believe you stand alone. Bet you hated "Sweeney Todd" too..LOL

[toperr1]

I was hemming and hawing about going to see it. I finally broke down and went after all the raves from friends.I was BLOWN away!!!! So cleverly brilliant!!!! I wanted to go again before it left Charleston, but pretty much sold out :-(

[xChemicalBitchx]

This was an absolutely great play.

One of the best plays I've seen!

I saw it in Stratford and at Bristol Hippodrome and the second time was as good as the first!

Would love to see it again, the songs never get old.

Abslolutely brilliant.

Kneehigh are spectacular.

[rubydartz]

Just saw this in Charleston, SC at the Spoleto Festival and thought it was the highlight of the Festival. A brilliant re imagining of a classic bad boy story. Super acting and clever scenic changes. Loved the female dancing stagehands.

[jonathanmelia]

Saw this in Stratford and thought it was an absolute pile of wank.  Pretentious, boring, sloppily written, amateurishly acted. This is theatre for dummies. And how can anyone do anything about the 1970s and have it so completely devoid of politics?

[PaddyLong1000]

Saw it with my performing arts group, possibly the most inspirational and entertaining piece of theater i have ever experienced, an honour to watch, me and a few members of my class got to go on stage with them for a scene when we saw it, the audience involvment was fantastic and the band was just EPIC! Couldnt reccomend it highly enough!

[triso007]

i went 2 see this play an got 2 meet tristan sturrock after it coz im his biggest fan :D hes great

[swomeeswan2]

So sad I missed it. Looks fantastic!

[GemHarragan]

Saw this last night and thought it was immense! I loved the band and set..and Don of course =) Is it true the songs are downloadable on I-tunes?

[distant2sun]

Yep, if you search Don John Kneehigh theatre they're all there to download

[sammiephysic]

I went to see this with my drama class at Leeds West Yorkshire Playhouse and no doubt in my mind...THIS WAS THE BEST and most AMAZINGLY spectacular play I have ever seen- from the get-go it was entrailing and entrancing- thank you for the experience and the best play....to have been performed...

I am in love it...Don stole my heart as did the production...we bought the cd and havnt stopped playing it since :)

thank you!

[georgiocoles]

Unfortunately I missed this in Warwick, but got to see it today at the Battersea Arts Centre. Was AWESOME!

I'm at drama school doing Actor Musicianship, so I really want to go into exactly this kinda show!

I got nervous at the end, and cowered in my seat to avoid dancing! Haha. Wish I did now!

A good show. I saw Cymbeline at the Birmingham Rep a few years ago and that was AMAZING also.

Drama love to all! x

[xoxsofixox]

omg i love this play! kneehigh are amazing!

i went to see it in warick to a few months ago, with my drama class:BRILLIANT!

and hell yeh, tristan was gorgeous! my mate danced with him in this thirsty scene when we were doing the workshop :(

[smally91]

This play was brilliant. I almost don't mind writing a review on it. =]

[CasualViolenceComedy]

Saw this last night. Ludicrously brilliant! Kneehigh are theatre gods.

[lazydragon340]

i saw this on wednesday,

now i have the constant urge to see it again,

IT WAS FRICKIN' AWSOME :)

[LozBozBaybee]

i saw this in warwick and it was so good, we saw tristan sturrock also as don john, and found him weirdly attractive?! such a good performancee :)

[mark1fenix]

best play ive seen so far.

i cant finish my notes on it though due in tomorrow.. until i can find an image of the stage layout =/

[crazydaizze]

OMG my friend danced with Don John!! im soooo jealous lol

best play ever and would love to see it again.!! :)

[garx83]

Watched this yesterday at the west yorkshire playhouse, loved it, easily the best theatre I have seen in a long time

[LadyDonaldLeatherMan]

Don John in this play was the sexiest man ever! tristan i mean :D x yum yum

[madzad]

i saw this it was so awesome

[helloimsteph]

I was also v. impressed that 'steph' got written on the walls twice! made me feel a little special haha!

[wolfheart4000]

omg we danced with the actors how cool is that we all rock i was like so jealous of the girl who danced with john but to dance with the audience at the end was cool of them.....oh the power of being at the front row XD

[sharliecoles16]

I saw it last night too (at the west yorkshire playhouse) and got to dance with alan :):):)

thought singer/musician/narrator was AMAZING and thought Tristan Sturrock who played Don John was equally amazing

brilliant play would go and watch it again tonight Xx

[wolfheart4000]

i saw this today at the yorkshire play house and i loved every minute of it and at the end i danced with the vicar hehe

[crabstickz]

omg i saw this on thursday at the west yorkshire playhouse and danced with the vicars wife!

[helloimsteph]

did we have a different John in Leeds?

[Justlizeth]

Hi Steph - There are indeed 2 different performers playing John. In Leeds John was played by Tristan Sturrock. In this trailer he is played by Gisli Orn Gardarsson. Hope that helps...

[FrankiiDoodle]

I saw it in Newcastle with Gisli and he was absolutely amazing, not to mention very gorgeous! I really hated the girl who got to dance with him at the end, and the two lads I was sat next to got to dance and there was only me that didn't.

[murderismyart]

Saw this last night at West Yorkshire Playhouse too! It was SOOO good...the song that finished the first act was so good and the woman singing was incredible! I am a big fan of kneehigh theatre so when we had an post-show chat with them i was really giddy and could not stop laughing!!

[abcabcabcS]

I saw it at West Yorkshire Play house and it was awsome!

Alan was mint, now for the essay :(

[lozwstar]

I totally saw it there too! AND I don't wanna do the essay either :(

[abcabcabcS]

i know its such a fun sucker!

you doing it for a level or gcse? :D

[lozwstar]

ha I know!

A Level. Even worse! lol

you?

[beltingtokra]

I saw this in Warwick and loved it! the music was sooo unique and clever, and the whole production will stick in my mind for ages! (I also made the VI formers jealous cuz i danced with tristan at the end! :P )

This production was fab.... infact, the best kneehigh play i've seen (i saw brief encounter too!)

[xChemicalBitchx]

I absolutely love this play!

Best play, I think I've ever seen!
