“Genuinely one of the nicest productions I have seen...Tudball is a masterful storyteller and thoroughly believable dad. Heather Bagnall’s script is simple on the surface, but deals with surprisingly deep themes...It is remarkably effective and thought-provoking writing…The story is told ever so well and it is one of those rare shows that is intelligent enough to work for both parents and their children. Both clever and caring, ‘Ferdinand’ is a delight to watch.”
