Extant Theatre Club attendee feedback:

“I like the theatre club, I get out and meet people, I see different types of theatre and performance.”
“Thank you so much for organising the trip and being supportive. I really enjoyed the show and look forward to more such outings.”
“The play was absolutely brilliant. Great humour, astutely observed, empathetic with VI encounters in life, so well devised, acted and conceived, with audio and visuals incorporated as part of the humour.”
