Performances at Fourth Monkey never fail to impress. Very moving and inspirational. Acting and directing of the highest quality. Stars of the future.

Loved the show. It was very imaginative and the acting was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the acting of Medusa.

The front of house staff were extremely friendly and polite. Xxx

Great show and a friendly venue. Warm welcome, comfortable pre show area and an Intimate setting for smaller scale works

Full time training with great teachers. Learn more than you would at conventional college.

Are we sure of anything we see on TV, hear on the radio, or read in the newspapers or, heaven forbid, on Twitter? This Julius Caesar shows us how the mob can be turned - like a tide - with appeals to heart over head. And it shows how the mightiest statesmen and warriors can be brought down, not because of what they have done, but of what they might do. This performance surrounds you, shakes you, draws you in, persuades you of the justice of a violent coup, and then cajoles you to call for revenge on the perpetrators of that coup. The doubt is there, who do we trust?

That the actors have received great coaching, there is no doubt, but it is not the coaching that is on show: these were honest, compelling performances. The staging was more than you would hope of a student production and expect of a professional one. I want more of the same.

An actor training programme one step ahead of the time. The school challenges the convention of what contemporary acting training should be like. The curriculum at Fourth Monkey is almost entirely physical. I am on Two Year Rep course and we are continuously engaged in creating content and, while working as one ensemble, always encouraging and supportive to allow each individual to grow. No words are enough to say how much I am enjoying it! So immensely fortunate to train here

Amazing talent here
