The Patrick Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome "Please Sir, can we have some more? A magical Dickensian experience is tempting pre-Christmas theatregoers in Birmingham. Stage2 is following up earlier successes to pull a Christmas cracker for this festive season." The Birmingham News. Vicky Watts from The Birmingham Rep’s Production Department created a stunning set that artfully evoked dark and dingy Dickensian London. This production was led by a fantastic performance from Colin Green whose Fagin was one of his last roles with Stage2 before he left for Arts Ed in London.

The Crescent Studio "Lillian Hellman's drama of gossip and relationships is superbly brought to life in Jess Southwood's imaginative production. The subject matter is strong stuff, which this precociously talented cast takes in its almost dauntingly disciplined stride. Ruth Fowler and Lindsey Carr put neither a foot nor a syllable wrong in their challenging roles, but then neither does anyone else! Liz McGarry is excellent as wilful Mary with her alarming cunning. Holly Turton as the grandmother, Anil Karra, the fiance and Victoria Payne as the slightly daffy aunt are prominent in a company without a flaw." Evening Mail

The Crescent Theatre "John Godber's riotous tales of a night in the life of four club doormen is given a wonderfully fresh and lively feel in this production. The four bouncers of Judd, Les, Ralph and Lucky Eric are joined by a talented and energetic cast. Luke Waite, Helen Jones, Paul Brotherton and Michael Haydon are equally outstanding as the bouncers while the support cast includes impressive performances by Andrew Smith, Josh Roberts, Billy Coughlin and Alex Pugh."

The Crescent Theatre "The inspired words of Shakespeare are safe in the wonderful young hands of the city's Stage2 youth theatre company. The outstanding talent of the juvenile actors on show almost defies belief in the way they master the bard's text. Many of the cast have never been on stage before but with their ages matched by many in the sell-out audience, they are successfully bringing the works of Shakespeare to a whole new generation. Yolanda Kettle leads a superb cast as Prospero, the rightful Duchess of Milan, Hannah McDonagh is delightful as her innocent daughter and there are equally splendid performances from Colin Green as the tortured slave Caliban and a lovely comic cameo from Lucy Bailey as the drunken cook Stephana."
