The Red Balloon Reviews

'This is children's theatre at its best... Anthony Clark's adapation is both delightful and moving' Sunday Times 'Clark's adaptations have become justly regarded as unmissable seasonable entertainment... A wondrous children's musical guaranteed to crack the hardest of adult hearts... No neat moral yarn, but a humorous and haunting fable' Independent 'A skilful and enchanting stage version of a 1950s classic' The Times
