‘What a fabulous project. I had a tired head on me coming into the show and it managed to keep my attention to the end.’
‘First of all, congratulations on such a wonderful play. Thursday’s production was brilliant; well written, funny and thought provoking.’
‘I liked the passages when the actors were addressing the audience directly as though they were talking to you during the interviews. My favourite passage was the description of time spent fighting TB in hospital.’
‘I really liked hearing the women’s perspectives on how women’s rights, socially, politically, and economically, changed over time, and their thoughts on society’s narrow sphere that women were supposed to exist within when they were growing up.’
‘ My favourite moment of the play was the shoe lace tying at the end- I’ve started tying my laces that way and it’s absolutely brilliant!’
‘really enjoyed the way the actors nearly talked over each other – the older generation can interrupt and talk over each other (as can any generation for that matter!) – so realistic in its style.’
‘we both said we loved hearing the history. We felt we were watching the first act of Silent Generation. The second act could be about how the silent generation lives now and what they want to say before they leave this earth.’
‘My Mum and Dad also thoroughly enjoyed it- the subsequent discussions between us all really brought to life how a production like this relates to a great variety of ages, and how it made us all thing about the way we view and speak to older generations.’
‘I liked the characters trying to talk to us because for me, the silence of the ‘Silent Generation comes not from a lack of a voice or for the want of something interesting to say, that is evident from your interviews, but because no one is listening to what is being said.’
‘I don’t know if this is the sort of feedback you wanted but the fact that I could write so much means that it resonated with me…so thank you.’
