Visited the Lyceum recently to see Second Person Narrative and The Tempest performed by the wonderful Lyceum Youth actors. Their enthusiasm and professional attitude shone through. Would highly recommend future performances. The Lyceum drama team are wonderful and front of house staff are very kind and helpful.
