What people are saying about “Supper Club” by Willow Kean!
‘Supper Club was one of the best bits of theatre I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. The cast was absolutely superb and extremely talented – hilarious, emotional, and real.

I thought what a great decision it was NOT to clear them off at intermission- it felt like a really great way to keep the “history” of the play fresh for us! Definite 5 out of 5 star review!!’

‘It was marvelous I loved it .’
‘I dragged myself out of the house and down to the LSPU Hall to see “Supper Club” by Willow Kean. And I’m so glad I did! Directed by Nicole Rousseau, it features five great performances by Alison Woolridge, Allison Moira Kelly, Renee Hackett, Vanessa Cardoso-Whelan , and Willow Kean herself. I giggled, guffawed and belly-laughed all through it, and luckily I wasn’t the only one. The audience leapt to their feet before the lights were fully dimmed, and wouldn’t stop applauding. If you need cheering, and who doesn’t these days, go see it. ‘
