Some great coverage for this production, which opened on Friday April 21 and runs until May 6. The response has been fantastic. Click the images below to link to a few of them or go to The Black Rider page for previews, reviews and audience responses.

What a triumph! It was such a fantastic performance: the music was wonderful, there were many moments when you felt you were in Berlin early last century. The bullet was brilliant! And Delaney Davidson was simply awesome. I loved the way it started and ended with what looked like marionettes  being set free from their box and returned to it. We felt very privileged to have been invited and will certainly be raving about it to others.

One magic bullet after another... Highly Recommended for all hunters and seekers

Astounding! Off-kilter beauty, beautifully ugly, movingly funny and strangely soothing. Churning around in the mind, as usual. That's the Free Theatre magic bullet. Need another fix. See you again final night!

An enthralling and fantastic show unlike anything I've seen before! Totally recommend this performance of incredibly talented artists.... Music, lighting singing and movement mixed with drama and emotion... you will be transported to another world! Go and see this you will be blown away...I LOVED it!

That was so f...ing good. Seriously good. Congratulations to everyone. Brecht and Weill must be smiling. ​

Thanks to everyone for providing a truly magical experience. I felt transported to another world from which I've not entirely emerged yet. Haunting in every respect.
