REVIEWS
“A first rate show for children … colourful, entertaining and thought-provoking.” - Sunderland Echo
“David Wood’s children’s plays offer entertainment with a message, but never one that is hammered home remorselessly. Save the Human features a world that has been ruined by mankind and taken over by animals. The animals make the same mistakes – including experiments on pet humans – and the whole cycle starts all over again. There’s an air of Orwell’s Animal Farm in the way animals are used to satirise human failings. But the questions asked about matters such as vivisection, intolerance and even the price of fame, are cleverly buried in pure entertainment.” - Bristol Evening Post
“Wonderfully astute conception.” - Northern Echo
“Although Save the Human does not miss out a thing environmentally, it still avoids the danger of preaching to a young audience. A cartoon-style staging, mime, music, audience participation and a splattering of slapstick all add up to a play that is visually stimulating as well as intelligent. The young audience waved their animal masks and sang, booed and hissed at the evil Professor Rhino, and were completely carried along with Becky Bear’s campaign to Save the Human.” - Torquay Express
