MY MIND IS FREE
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK WRITTEN IN OUR FEEDBACK BOOK:
Fantastic performance, sensitive, gripping and thought provoking! All the members of the cast were brilliant and I would certainly recommend to others. It opened my eyes to certain aspects of trafficking I had never thought of beyond the popularised narrative. Laura and Alice x

Very well delivered indeed.
A great big thank you for the tremendous work you do.
Extremely powerful and well acted portrayal of modern day trafficking. Thank you so much for bringing it to more people’s attention.
Very moving and upsetting. So well acted and a powerful play. It was interesting to hear how the director with a theatre company and the playwright came together. Maybe things all work out together for good sometimes! My husband and I have plenty to go home and think about.
A very well acted performance around a disturbing situation that is hidden in Scotland.
Mind blowingly good. I was riveted from the start to finish. Such an important piece of theatre and really taught me about a subject I had limited knowledge about.
Through the use of Physical theatre it allowed me to suspend my disbelief. It clearly portrayed a message that is very important and gave me further insight into the matter. Great differentiation between all the characters and amazing accents.
