The Vanishing Elephant

"Cannot tell you just how much we enjoyed this show. Three generations of family all amazed by the magic! Thanks so much, it was truly wonderful"

"Thank you for sharing your gifts and magic. Would highly recommend. Great way for children and young people to experience feelings and emotion"

“I was blown away by this! More than a show...it was a magical experience!”

“Cahoots are SO amazing! Never cease to thrill & surprise…It's going to take quite some time for my wee ones to come back down to earth after tonight's show! ”

“the sort of young people’s theatre that should be preserved in aspic and taken out for a little peep from time to time.”

“Children’s theatre that is both charming and significant in many ways.”

“Cahoots’ boundless imagination and theatrical risk-taking are inspiring"

“This is world class work being produced right here in Belfast. It is crying out to be seen in countries far from here, where the quality of production and the impact of content upon young imaginations can be recognised for their universal significance.”
