Reviews and audience feedback
“Told with music, speech and British Sign Language, the story is joyfully… A fun-filled family adventure.”
Brum Hour“The Gruffalo was an absolute delight from start to finish. I also loved the fact it was told in British Sign – as well as spoken English – as it’s something I want my daughter to learn and be used to.”
Birmingham Mail“Outstandingly brilliant! Highlight of the day – one of young people running up and signing “I love you!” to Mouse”

“Mia Ward had the audience on-side throughout and there’s a whole moment where, just using Sign Language, Mia talks to the audience and gets them to offer support to the Mouse.”

“We took our reception aged children to see The Gruffalo BSL+ and couldn’t recommend it enough! It was an absolutely fantastic performance and the incorporation of BSL really enhanced the engagement of the children. They were captivated throughout and rooted to their seats for the duration of the show, a testament to the talent of the actors! The children were amazed to learn that some members of the cast were deaf. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the his show to any young Gruffalo fan!”

“I really can’t praise you all enough thank you for exposing every audience to BSL. I watched children and parents learning and practicing new signs as the show went on, a truly unique experience for a large number of people who otherwise may not come across BSL.”

“We took our profoundly deaf son and hearing daughter to the show today – it was amazing!! We loved that BSL is incorporated into the production and the show was SO visual and engaging!! My son was on the edge of his seat throughout and we all enjoyed it so much!! I hope there will be more shows like this in the future.”
