  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."

  What a dare devil ride full of humour, social responsibility, comradeship and tragedy. A heartfelt tribute to the International Brigade and an astounding piece of theatre stunningly performed. Thank you Townsend Productions and thank you Hertford Theatre.
