“…A Brilliant Night Of Theatre”
Senior Producer, Bristol Old Vic
“…Moments Of Absurdity, Beauty And True Pathos”.
Edson Burton, MBE
“The piece, …pays tribute to the lightness that ballet asks us to embrace, alongside the sacrifice associated with it. Pickford generously passes down the knowledge gained from her experiences in a way that delights. The piece allows for an opportunity to perceive the art as one which need not be taken seriously all of the time. What better way to entertainingly narrate history than through humour?
Maria Farsoon, The Skinny
“You had sold out all performances over a week before opening night!”
Alma Theatre Manager, Bristol
“The best thing about Bluffing your way in ballet is that the majority of the cast are not in the first flush of youth, or anywhere near it. It’s very refreshing to see so many silver-haired people strutting their stuff on stage and very clearly demonstrating that life doesn’t end at forty.”
Brett Herriot, ScotsGay Art
Sold out! Happy days!
Marketing & Sales Manager, Tobacco Factory Theatres
“…graceful, poised, elegant, technically sound movement that was central to an enjoyable and informative forty-five minute canter through the history of ballet, touching on all the greats known to twentieth and twenty-first century audiences as well as a few of the less well known faces from ballet’s inception around half a millennium ago. And not an elastic support in sight either.”
Tim Wilcock, Edinburgh Fringe
Following our sell-out performances at Theatre Royal, Bath:
‘I have just arrived home after your show. You are beautiful and the show was glorious! I enjoyed learning the history of ballet through the wonderful cast. I loved the excerpts that you danced (and brought tears to my eyes). It was fun and, as a woman of 76, I found it inspiring as would anyone of any age. At last! Women with experience and a lust for life putting on a show. Yes! I loved it. Jolly well done. I’m proud to know you!,
JF, Bristol
‘We saw the show in Bath last week and absolutely loved it. It was a joyous mix of silly jokes, wonderful dancing and fascinating history. Completely engaging from start to finish. I’m telling all my friends to come and see it!’
AM, Thornbury
‘What an incredible show, I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and quirky night out to both be entertained and learn a bit about the history of ballet!’
HB, London
