'Totally fantastic. I was blown away' - Diana Martin, Executive Producer, BBC

'Really impressed' - Liviu Tipurita, Film-maker

'I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the production, the setting was atmospheric and the performances perfectly pitched for the scale. Great to see Hamlet in such intimacy. Well done everybody and hope the run goes well!!!' - Simon Moseley, 1st AD on: (amongst many others) A Room with a View, The Krays, In the Name of the Father and Producer on Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and Wallander.

A truly viscerally engaging production. The characterisations and relationships are deep, connected and rich in their humanity. The interaction of both actors and audience within the unique and immersive space make for a mesmeric production. This production gave me first time insights and understandings within the play and of life beyond. I believe the bard would have been very pleased with the result. This is theatre at its best.' Lawrence O Connor, Actors' Temple

'From a dark play, a redemptive experience: To go to see Hamlet, by the Actors' Temple, at St. Andrew's Crypt, is like entering another world. The acting is full of integrity, the set is profound & the sound rises up out of the darkness. It goes straight through you. Not forgetting the humble grace of the ushers, it is a pleasure & a privilege to walk into. Thank-you.' Julia Crook, Temple

'Congratulations on a really amazing production.' Pritpal Soor, Music Producer

'Well done and congrats to all.' Richard Baron, Director

'What a production - really really really enjoyed it and if I wasn't on the train to Calais as we speak I'd come again! LOVED it!' Brinja Lubiens

'Congratulations to The Actors' Temple for an outstanding performance of Hamlet. Top-class acting and wonderful use of the crypt space' Sharon Wheeler, Freelance Journalist

'It was such a great experience last night for so many reasons. The venue.. the quality of the performances blew us both away.  Apart from getting a lot of pleasure from the whole experience I was also stimulated mentally and emotionally. If a book, a piece of music, a conversation, a film or play elicits a feeling or feelings in me then I seem to get a lot more from it. The feeling boxes were well and truly ticked last night..'  David Plimmer, Counsellor.

'All the characters were so convincing, any one of them could be up for an Oscar for their performance. The production was so original and the crypt was an ideal setting - well done to all involved.'  Claire Day.

'Tense, dramatic, moving and very well played.' Jam, Photographer.
