“Nansi has been one of the highlights of the theatrical year.”

“There was as much humour in the script as there was angst and it was beautifully acted...The main stage was used sparingly and the four actors played numerous scenes among the audience...a great spectacle for which Davies and director Sarah Bickerton must be handed great credit.”

Eryl Crump, North Wales Daily Post

"The staging itself was enough of a show, as the local director, Sarah Bickerton, organized a very joyful evening for us. The evening was held under the ancient beams of the Stiwt, in the village of Llanfair Caereinion; with drink tankers on the bar tables in front of us, the 'drama' happened around us."
