In York, we’re lucky to have local media that is incredibly supportive of the arts. Not only that, but we’re delighted that they’ve thoroughly enjoyed our performances year on year, which is why we’ve gathered together all of our press coverage from recent years. If you missed a show and want to read about the highlights, you’re after some behind-the-scenes info, or just want to reminisce, you’re in the right place!
