Audience reviews Just a handful of the amazing audience reviews for previous Le Navet Bete productions: “The panto is absolutely awesome, best one I have ever seen” “The Wizard Of Oz was absolutely fantastic. A brilliant production by the Le Navet Bete blokes!! I will certainly be recommending ALL future productions to all of my friends!! Can't wait for the Jungle Book!!!”

“Went today to watch a Christmas Carol and it was amazing. The Barbican Theatre is a great place and the act was brilliant - definitely going again.” "Yet another brilliant show! Always something for everyone!" "Better than the original. Fantastic!" “These guys work so hard to entertain you from start to finish... They have pure raw talent without the need for expensive props. You feel included in the performance and the crew come to meet you after the show to thank you. Can't wait until next year's Panto”

About Barbican Theatre Established in 1980, the Barbican Theatre (a charity) is Plymouth’s most intimate and most unusual theatre. Although our home is in the heart of the historic Barbican our work goes out across the city and SW region. We present and produce a diverse artistic programme of exciting and challenging Theatre and Dance that we feel reflects the world in which we live. Some of this work takes place in our building and others in surprising places that enable communities to meet the Arts on their own terms. Education, and the development of creative skills, is at the heart of all we do. Our vision is to empower young people through creativity to be the next generation of artists, innovators and socially engaged activists. We do this by providing progression routes for young people from the age of 18 months to 25 years to develop their talents, explore their humanity and take leadership roles in the organisation. This enables our young people to transition out of our projects and programmes and begin journeys as independent artists, facilitators, producers and makers.
