Summary by Stageify

The reviewer, new to the story, praises Encore Performing Arts' powerful storytelling and strong performances at the Duchess Theatre, Long Eaton, along with the smooth multi-level staging, costumes, lighting and sound design, noting only that the soundscape occasionally overpowered dialogue. NODA show reports carry no rating.
