“I have been attending performances by the Butterfly Theatre company for a few years now, ever since I made the wonderful discovery of their existence! Each year I think of more and more people I want to share this experience with and am delighted to see the joy, uplift and enrichment I feel echoed in them. I have been to many performances with my 10 year old son, none have moved me in the way that Butterfly do. I know I am not alone in feeling as though I have been totally immersed in the experience of the play like I never have before. My family, friends and I have become wrapped up in each play and come home buzzing with enthusiasm and inspiration. The work Butterfly do is far reaching and touches people's hearts, please keep doing what you are doing.”
