We go to Creation's Christmas show every year and have a fantastic time. This year the Wind in the Willows at the North Wall is just splendid! It's not your average pantomime but a unique, quirky take on a story I sort of remember from years ago. There's fabulous and unexpected music right from the start, and a paper boat on Ratty's head. What more could you ask?! If you can, do go as you'll have such a good time. Don't miss out on the crepes and do give a special cheer for the brilliant youth chorus

I have seen several performances by the Creation company and have always been impressed by their imaginative approach to staging - be it Shakespeare or panto, they never disappoint. They do not have a designated theatre but use all kinds of interesting venues in and around Oxford (I loved the 'Mirror Tent' but they haven't used that lately).The current production of 'Wind in the Willows' is great fun for children and adults alike. Fast-moving and just a bit different.I enjoy going to the theatre, local and West End. Much as I love the spectacle of big London shows, it is very expensive. I take grandchildren (7 - 16) to appropriate Creation productions and I think it great for them to see how simple props and costumes can bring a performance to life without all the technological razzmatazz! (We love the pancakes, too)

The staging and acting in Creation Theatre's performance of Macbeth is simply stunning. Great use of space and lighting.

I love Creation Theatre productions and we took 5 children (7-13yrs) to see Wind in the Willows. The theatre was small and intimate and the performance was amazing - from the Chief Weasel stealing my friends glasses, to the singing, acting and childrens performances. As always the cast's ability to use a variety of objects as props (bra's as mice ears??) is ingenious. Looking forward to 'As you like it' in the summer already.

This was a really cool, really clever remake of the old classic tale. Brilliantly delivered in a way that held the attention throughout. Really nice, intimate setting at the North Wall. The performance made we laugh, sing, and think. Great job!

I am a regular at Creation's summer and winter shows and am never disappointed. This was a new venue and a very beautiful memorable one. I liked the use of the windows and the roof, even if it kept you on your toes wondering where to look next. The sound was very good I thought, the actors could always be clearly heard wherever they were. Macbeth is a complicated story which Shakespeare dives straight into, and with 6 cast members playing all the characters it did get a little confusing at times to know who was who. I should have brushed up on the plot beforehand to have a good chance of keeping up. The use of miminal props was very clever as always and the lighting was excellent. And the small bit of rain added even more atmosphere! Everyone worked hard and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in particular were very good, they made a riveting couple.Only one small gripe about the food - we ordered a hamper for four (£46) but I thought it was rather overpriced for what we got.

I am a fan of Creation but this Macbeth was a mild disappointment. The back drop of L.M. H. was very imposing but overpowering for this small scale performance. Brilliant acting from the man himself but I did not get The WW1 kit and Lady Macbeth - the most powerful person on stage was dressed out of sync and very unregally. Well lit but I do not take to actors being miked up and amplified; to me this forms a barrier between stage and audience. And all those black flags - had the islamic state come to Oxford ? No recognisable witches and the changes to the script; oh dear.Lets hope for better at Christmas and the Wind in the Willows.

A great quirky performance of Kenneth Grahame's classic book - and one not to be missed (tickets are still available). Just about followable if you are not familiar with the book although a quick wikipedia look up before the start helped. A lovely Christmas theatre treat.

Really enjoyed this adapted production of Macbeth last night. We were very lucky to have such a fine evening to enjoy the wonderful facilities of Lady Margaret Hall and to be amazed by how this Shakespearean masterpiece adapted so well to the Great War Costumes and production in the late 19th century grounds and garden. At first I was confused by the loss of the witches at the introduction, and confused by the use of very efficient microphones and sound system, which made it impossible to identify the position on stage of the speaker at any time. One did get used to this after a while, and the way the stage was used and the six actors managed to fiull all the roles by adapting their dress and accents was impressive. Congratulations to the Creation Theatre Company for a Force de Theatre

Last minute booking, managed to get a seat at a table front and centre, the performance was excellent, at the begining was a little mistified by the spare seat with it's back to the stage, this became clearer later when Lady Macbeth came and sat with us as part of the performance, by the end Macbeth him self was out of his tree. I don't usually do the tragedies but I'm glad I did.
