  "Splendid production, my dad's Spanish teacher from Rutlish School in South London fought in the Spanish Civil war. My dad was only 12 at the time but was very aware of the fight for justice and the people from all walks of life that fought there. The acting during the performance on Friday 3/2/2016 Buckerell near Honiton DEVON supported by Villages in Action was superb well done. The actors Neil Gore and David Haywood brought to life Clem's commitment to the cause of justice. We need people like him now!
  Additionally the drama design, costumes, authentic looking props added to the drama and reality of the time.
  An absolute tribute to all those people who fought for freedom in Spain.
  Please come further South West with the production. Regional drama at its best!"

  Dare Devil Rides Out to Jarama is a wonderful piece of theatre with loads of audience participation, humour, pathos and tragedy all presented in an engaging way. Tears of laughter and sadness combined. Not to be missed.

  Went to see Dare Devil Rides to Jarama with my family at the Hat Factory in Luton last night. Particularly interesting to us because our Uncle, Joe Lees served in the International Brigade, knew Clem Beckett and served under him for a while, unfortunately Joe died soon after Clem at Brunette. Firstly, I would say the Hat Factory was a fantastic venue and the two hour play, well what can I say, it was fabulous. The two guys who took us through Clem Beckett's early life in Oldham and then his time in Spain, were so enthusiastic and we were all moved by this production. Well done to Townsend for remembering these important events. Loved it

  Brilliant performance at The Witham tonight of Dare Devil Rides to Jarama- Great script, music, singing and acting-a spectacular and passionately delivered homage to the memory and spirit of the International Brigades. So many gave up their lives, so that we could be free. Un dia venceremos! Thank you

  Thank you so much for bringing this little known story to our corner of the world. It was emotional, entertaining and educational. I have been inspired to learn more! How can we get more young people to come along and engage with our history? This is so incredibly relevant in today's climate.

  "I wanted to say how much I enjoyed Dare Devil Rides to Jarama at the Bussey Building. It was thought provoking as well as being entertaining. I have seen the Raggard Trousered Philanthropist and the Ricky Tomlinson play, also at the Bussey Building and therefore look forward to your next production."
