This world needs more people like Ollie. He gets it. I love the way he talks its like a poem. I've met this gentleman personally and he live his truth.

Ive been very fortunate to not only see Rogue Theatre shows in Tehidy woods but also to have one to one coaching from Ollie on how to craft & write a performance. He's a generous & warm performer showing real integrity. If you haven't seen any of Rogue Theatre shows then I urge you to go. Wonder, magic & enchantment are a given & there is also dancing at the end for the whole audience, ending in a big party. Rogue hit that "sweet spot" that we all look for in entertainment & they do it at a bargain price in beautiful environments, amazing!

I went to go and see rouge theatre about 3 years ago, and it changed the was i look at theatre. To be honest the way i look at the world. I met this man and he was captivating, in his big intimidating costume, holding a baby and talking to me about the technical aspects of the show. It was one of the best experience of my life and if i didn’t live over 5 hours away. I hope to go back one day. Thank you.

Amazing! I totally applaud what you & your brilliant theatre group have achieved. We came to see you this Christmas time & we all loved it, it was a magical,immersive & communal experience & i loved every minute of it. You are a light in dark times, Ollie, thank you for bringing magic & wonder to the people.

Rouge theatre is amazing, we went Tehidy woods 6 years ago for the first time to see you all perform and have been back every year since, it is always fantastic. I become a kid again listening and watching your amazing shows.

We’ve been three times now, and it’s honestly so good. I’m not a theatre going person and this talk highlights some of the issues I have with the indoor performances. However what Rouge do is genuinely amazing, beautiful and immersive. My kids almost like it as much as myself. The whole experience is brilliant.

Love the bit about the collective consciousness connection. It’s so moving when the performers and the audience are all sharing an intense emotion. Have had many such moments with Rogue

[@belleretiredaccount]

This remains my absolute favorite TED Talk of all time.

[@traceyupchurch]

Love Rogue Theatre - wonderful stories and brilliant ethos. Also some of my best life memories, watching my children's faces through the years as they walk (and dance!) spellbound through the woods. Thank you, Rogue Theatre.

Rogue Theatre has recently become a part of our lives as a family ( age range 5 - 78 years) we’ve just experienced our 4th show which thrilled and delighted everyone! Experiencing such beautiful art in our local woods is simply magical! We totally applaud Rogue.....and as for Old Man Winter.....I’m a bit proud of this Camborne Boy and his troupe!

[@ThousandBasher]
