Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘Robin Hood’:
’You can always rely on Spotlites’ annual Christmas show to deliver exactly what it promises - original, interactive theatre.
Its innovative strategies for involving children in the audience get more ambitious and plentiful every year.
Robin Hood is a play in every sense.

Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘Treasure Island’:
’You can always rely on Spotlites to provide a fine Christmas show with a difference but this year they have surpassed even their own high standards.
Treasure Island is an outstanding piece of highly original interactive theatre.
It also manages to tell an exciting adventure story in which the pace never flags.’

Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘Sword in the Stone’:
‘Like all Rachel Thomson-King’s fine shows for children, Sword in the Stone smashes happily through the boundary between actors and audience.
Eager children are repeatedly invited on stage to help the narrative along.
An art form… impeccable… inspired… Stirring stuff.’

Review from ‘Three Weeks’ on ‘Sword in the Stone’:
‘Imaginative and attention grabbing… infectiously energetic performance…
By the climax, even the shyest members of the crowd are begging to get up on stage…
this is both entertaining and well-crafted.
Only a magic spell should stop you taking the whole family to see it.’

Review from ‘The List’ on ‘Sword in the Stone’:
‘Whereas some company’s idea of audience participation is a token hand clap, Spotlites is the real deal.
A fun romp for all budding King Arthurs and Gweneveres.’

Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘The Three Little Pigs’:
‘Rachel Thomson-King’s writing is masterly….
So is the quality of the acting.’

Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’:
‘Such a treat…
Rachel Thomson-King’s immaculate directing and skillful scriptwriting…
experts in managing high-quality audience involvement.’

Review from ‘The Stage’ on ‘The Three Musketeers’:
‘Imaginative direction…
This is fine interactive theatre.’

Clocktower After School Club, who visited ‘Sword in the Stone’, said:
‘We just wanted you to know we love coming to watch and do the workshops.
Keep up the good work!
Jack loved the dragon poo!’

Loose Infants, who had Spotlites visit the school, said:
‘Spotlites are co-operative and accommodating, the staff and children had a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable experience!
Overall we rated the ease of booking the performance, the interactive nature of the play, the relevance of the content, the ease with which you set up / left, and how it fulfilled our criteria for booking you as excellent and we would love to have you come back to visit our school again.’

The Tateson family who visited ‘Sword in the Stone’ said:
‘My family and I came to see ‘Sword in the Stone’ yesterday.
We all felt that this was the best show that we had seen and wanted to pass on our congratulations to all involved.
We all really wanted to pass on our feelings to make sure that everyone involved realised just how good it was!
We will certainly be coming to see other productions.
Thank you for a fantastic afternoon!!’
