"...Tranio (Amy Sutton) whisked the audience away with her (yes, her) boisterous double act... It was a brave decision to get them to exchange clothes onstage, but I’ve never seen someone more becoming in Oliver Hardy style trousers and loafers..."

"We worked with Amy in August 2013 to develop story sessions based on bees. She was fun to work with and understood how to match our needs with inspired storytelling. She engaged our visitors from the very young to the not-so-young and had them buzzing, flapping their wings and waggle dancing as they moved through the garden."
