Mind blowing. I cried for the last twenty minutes. Honestly one of the most impactful shows I’ve ever seen. As a set designer I can only applaud the entire production team for what was a total masterpiece. The actors were so believable I lost track and sense of time.

The first act seemed a little long but the payoff in the second act made it well worth it. The choreography, sets and direction created an immersive world and told a new fairy tale. It was beautifully acted and performed. The ensemble deserved a standing ovation for their role in creating the magic the show evokes.

Very strange storyline that I thought was very far fetched and stupid. Very disappointed with the set particularly given how much we paid for our tickets. Drinks at the theatre are very overpriced.

I was wondering how the book would be adapted and was very pleasantly surprised by the inventive use of the crew as multitasking ensemble. Also the creative use of puppetry and rippling swathes of fabric as the ocean waves. A sight to behold. Magic on stage indeed!

Brilliant show. Suggested for over 12s but my 9 year old who loves all dark and scary things loved it. Quite surreal story, reminded me of Stranger Things but more original.

I loved the show due to the creative set design and amazing puppetry used. Their horror aspects were very enjoyable and kept you on edge. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys something a bit more abstract, and overall a great experience.

Review: THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE at the Duke of York's Theatre
by Stuart King | Monday, November 8 2021, 09:47
Neil Gaiman's magical tale of a boy transported back to his 12 year old self has landed at the Duke of York's Theatre for a West End run following-on from its huge success at The National.
It's difficult to do justice to the impressive multi-layered talents deployed in bringing this show to life. The performances, design and puppetry combine to envelop the entire theatre in a compelling mysticism which captivates anyone fortunate enough to see the production.

Review: THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE at the National Theatre
by Phil Willmott | Tuesday, December 17 2019, 22:29
It’s rare that a production is so magical that I forget I'm sitting in a theatre, forget I'm there to analyse and assess it, and get completely swept up in the story.
That happened in the first half of this stage adaptation of the popular novel by Neil Gaiman, the current fantasy author of choice, as adapted by Joel Horwood.
