Feedback for The Call of the Loon Bird

"A fantastic show, with superb scenery and lighting.  A display of shadow puppetry that must have sent children's imaginations to a new level - it was absolutely superb. The music was inspired, It was haunting and hypnotic.  At times I felt like I was being led into a wonderful dream"
