"If ever there were an example of the imperceptible differences between professional and amateur, we have it here at its finest"
Review from Derby Evening Telegraph
Set in fin de siecle Paris, complete with Moulin Rouge-esque dancers, live accordion music and an absinthe-soaked Feste, this sumptuous production from Caroline Reader went down a treat with audiences at the Guildhall.
The DSTC cast excelled themselves as ever and the gender-swapping tale of mistaken identity and forbidden desire delivered laughter and romance in equal measure.
