Witchcraft exhibition august 2023
As there isn’t now going to be a show between the end of September and mid-November, I’d love to have a line display of artists’ business cards around the gallery space as so many are tiny works of art in themselves. If you would like to be on the wall, please send two business cards (if they’re double-sided so that I can do a front and back view) to The House of Smalls, Cambrook Court, High Street, Chipping Campden, Glos GL55 6AT and they’ll be up for a month!

Reviews for "The Magic of Smokei G Monkey Theater: Bringing Stories to Life"
1. Karen - 1 star - I had high hopes for "Magic Smoking Monkey Theater" based on its unique name, but I was extremely disappointed with the experience. The acting was amateurish and the storyline was confusing. The set design was minimal and lacked creativity. Overall, it felt like a high school production rather than a professional theater performance. I would not recommend wasting your time and money on this show.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I attended "Magic Smoking Monkey Theater" with a group of friends and we were all let down by the quality of the production. The jokes fell flat and the comedic timing was off. The performers seemed unprepared and lacked energy. It was difficult to follow the plot, and the transitions between scenes were abrupt and confusing. I was hoping for a fun and entertaining evening, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype.
3. Lisa - 2 stars - "Magic Smoking Monkey Theater" was a disappointment for me. The humor was forced and felt outdated. The actors seemed disinterested and phoned in their performances. The production lacked originality and creativity. It felt like a cheap attempt at comedy rather than a well-crafted show. I would not recommend this theater to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience.
4. John - 1 star - I regretted attending "Magic Smoking Monkey Theater" as soon as the show started. The jokes were stale and the actors struggled to deliver them convincingly. The pacing was off, leaving awkward pauses and dragging the show down. The overall production felt unpolished and unprofessional. I would advise against wasting your time and money on this disappointing performance.
