Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015
"The Piper is some of the loveliest children’s theatre I have ever seen. It’s clever and charming and never condescending. Even though I’m not exactly the target audience, I was captivated by it. An absolute Sydney Festival highlight... This is theatre with magic in it. "
Australian Stage Online, January 2014
"When the bear leads the children into the magic mountain and backstage for a quick costume change, all seem quite happy to follow. Their reappearance catches your breath. It's a lovely and surprisingly emotional moment in what is a formally inventive and stimulating piece of theatre."

“A stunning work … One of the achievements of Africa is its emotional honesty: how it at once expresses human resilience — the ability to generate beauty from the “rag and bone shop of the heart” — and the incorrigibility of damage and loss. Realised with an admirable skill, it’s funny, beautiful and heartbreaking. Beg, borrow or steal a ticket to this one.” Alison Croggon, The Australian
