“Very moving and very well performed. Highly recommended.
Quite touching and melancholic (Being a blue!).
Very authentic and believable.
Moving, disturbing – well done.
Thought it was really good – touching but not over sentimental.
Great stuff – avoided cliché and believable.
Strong performance from all the cast. Leo’s performance was outstanding.
As a city fan it brought back very fond memories. As a theatre worker I thought it was excellent.
It’s like someone wrote down my life!
The play was very moving and dramatic in parts – An excellent performance – Leo was brilliant!”

It’s not hard to see why the BBC were so enthusiastic about the radio version of this play… Great stuff, with some tremendous performances.

Maine Road is a gentle and moving play examining the effect of change upon those things from which we derive our identity and sense of community…. Maine Road avoids nostalgia to deliver a bittersweet, moving tale that is highly recommended.
