Testimonials

This fast-paced, “punny” kids show will have children rolling in the aisles… The creators/performers have clearly put a lot of heart into this pantomime and their energy is infectious. Parents looking for some comic-distraction for their children will certainly find it here.
– Gwen and John: A Melodramatic Love Story, review from Heckler.com.au

Next was a performance of a short drama by Two Friends Productions, which told the Burke and Wills story from the point of view of Dr Ludwig Becker, the “artist-slash-naturalist” of the Expedition. Their rendition of his life (and death) was hilarious, but at the same time provided the students with plenty of well-researched information about the Expedition.
– For The Love Of Becker, BugBlitz from the Burke & Wills 150th Year Anniversary.

That explanation of why WWI started has to be the most inspired I’ve ever seen.
– Our Anzacs and their Legacy, Jennifer Forest for the Ballarat Heritage Weekend 2015

A great mix of humour, accessible language and action.
– The Story of a Tree, Sara Gillies of the National Wool Museum

Digger of a good time! Loved the Diggers!
Great energy, visuals and clever use of props.
Two talented friends indeed!
– Our Anzacs and their Legacy, Barry Nixon of the Ballarat Arts Foundation

First class Production!
Very educational and informative. Humour appropriate to the topic.
