Description

When shy Aaron joins the hotel's ramshackle team, he encounters volatile guests, inept management and even rumours of singing ghosts stalking the corridors. But through the madness, one voice rings out clear, capturing both his ears and heart – and Aaron chooses to go into battle with the hotel's magical chaos in order to find the person who owns it. This heart-filling ensemble comedy from Olivier Award-winner Isobel McArthur (Pride and Prejudice* sort of), directed by Gareth Nicholls (Ulster American), explores the power of art and beauty in seemingly hopeless circumstances.

With a production crew onside with an excellent split-level set, creative and tight direction, which ensures the pace is pitched just right, this is an excellent piece of theatre.

North West End UK (4/5 stars) 36 days ago

A technical Tour De Force, and certainly the most lavish production by the Traverse at this year’s Fringe, with a knock-out set and costumes by Ana Ines Jabares-Pita .

Obviously, when McArthur played Wendy she was liberally sprinkled with Tinkerbell’s magic dust, and it’s still working.
