“Flute’s work is extraordinary in the deepest sense of the word, remaking our understanding and experience of what Shakespeare is, and can be. It creates a space to meet, to play, and, above all, to dream.”

“The effect of the actors on the children’s behaviour is remarkable — and very moving. In some of the shows I was trying to be a detached scientist type, but I kept getting drawn in by what was going on, and found myself wiping away a tear or two. The work of Flute really is quite special.” For more on the scientific work Jamie does with Flute, see Deconstructing The Dream.

“With Flute Theatre I rediscovered the steps leading back to my immortal inner child.”

“I was drawn to Flute as someone who is on the high end of the spectrum and a Shakespeare fan who performs as a hobby. I wanted to know more and was invited to participate in the shows. Now I feel proud to be a part of the family and contributing to the cause.”

Working with Kelly and all the talented people involved with Flute is a source of great pride to me. I never fail to be moved by what they achieve and the positive effect they have on the lives of young people and their families.

“I have become increasingly interested in Shakespeare beyond mainstream professional performance, and I have been enthusiastically involved in Kelly Hunter's work with excluded audiences since 2001.”

“I’ve followed Kelly’s unique work with Flute for many years and am passionate about its ability to transform and enrich lives. I could not be more proud to be involved as a trustee.”
