“Even though it is only February I think we have already watched the Gaiety Stage drama for the year 2006. “Tunes of Glory” is a masterful piece of theatre, the high quality acting of the whole company together with superb period sets make the whole evening an event to cherish. I don’t know what two steps up from first class acting is, but I have witnessed it tonight in “Tunes of Glory”. Surely London’s West End theatres must soon be fighting over this quality product from The Middle Ground Theatre Company.” Manx Radio
