First draft feedback
For my money, there isn't another company in the UK as exciting as @company_three. Their new show #TheBestDayEver at @thepleasance is brilliant, inspiring & oh so joyous #fangirl

Last night I saw @company_three’s #C3BestDayEver and it was one of the most joyful shows I’ve seen in ages. Authentic, honest storytelling full of humour and passion. The real deal.

The Best Day Ever! is another teenaged triumph for @company_three: a funny, fast-paced, fiercely felt & very moving message for the future, if we have one. Still time to catch it @ThePleasance in London today: https://t.co/ZFNm9NNvCm Support C3's work: https://t.co/m5RJKD0x7D pic.twitter.com/Ce7pCJ5bnp

If I could only watch one company’s work for evermore it might well be theirs. Full of hope. Full of light. An antidote to the world ❤️ pic.twitter.com/QgG4DNPbeL
