They loved the "good story, that was told so well", they enjoyed being part of the drama, and many commented that it was very special to learn that the play was based on a true story. Many mentioned how the gardens were so lovely as well. The one part of the feedback that you might like to ponder, was that they got confused with the many roles that Chris played and would have liked more actors involved. They all learnt a lot about the lives of the women convicts and were quite horrified by the grim conditions they had to endure. Thanks for a wonderfully innovative approach to telling the story of convict women. I hope some students will comment to you themselves.
