"Tying all of this together was a belief in imaginative play enabling children of all ages to share something magical together, whether in the theatre or elsewhere. In perhaps the most moving image of the production, repeated twice, the Storyteller encouraged all of the assembled audience to join the cast in building the hand-boats, and then dispersing them to the winds with a shared breath as they set out on new adventures. As the audience went their separate ways, I saw some of the kids still creating the boat with their hands; a little legacy of the imaginative power that comes from playing together, coupled with a reminder that some of the most important things we share aren’t limited by material and time."

- Dr. Pete Kirwan (Pericles (Streetlight Shakespeare Ensemble ) @ The Wharf Studio)​
