— Pure Life Plus (4 out of 5 stars)
Dame Granny Smith is many things. A legend. An icon. A star of stage and screen. A small green apple. But who is the real Dame Granny Smith?
— One4Review (5 out of 5 stars)
In this absurd yet delicious pastiche of cabaret divas and showbiz interviews, we meet a talking apple, in conversation with puppeteer and ventriloquist David Salter.
