“Blyton’s timeless magic adapted by David Wood … faithful to the essence of the Blyton original, identifying and utilising the elements in the books that really appeal to children.” The Stage and Television Today
“… genuinely spell-binding. It is also not every day you get a theatre audience that is so wonderfully wide-eyed. Whole rows had their chins on the seats in front of them.” The Times
“Noddy is a terrific mix of adventure, morality tale and pantomime … an ideal introduction to theatre for young children.” Nottingham Evening Post
