The critical consensus

The Secret Life of Suitcases is a quietly inventive tale of discovery in which the good guy confronts his fears and comes out even better.

***(*)(*)Mark Fisher, The Guardian, 27/03/2014

Despite the spirit of adventure running through this charming new show, there’s also a real sense of calm.

****(*)Kelly Apter, The List, 18/03/2014

With the help of attractive lighting by Andrew Gannon, and sound by Niroshini Thambar, Larry’s story is presented here with a warmth and inventiveness that wins the rapt attention of its young audience, for a thoughtful, funny and rewarding 45 minutes.

****(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 05/04/2014

This is a gentle philosophical piece of children’s theatre with a message for all ages. Opening his labelled case has opened Larry’s mind. A sweet lesson for us all.
