| 'Near capacity audiences almost every night have expressed their enjoyment and
admiration of the show, while the play itself is a subtle and fond tribute to the original
stories, and Kent’s own performance is a tour de force of accents, emotions and
humour.'
Northern Echo columnist
'Bramley's gentle play
focuses on the early veterinary career of Herriot, as told by the vet himself in the
genial form of Neil Kent, who plays all manner of roles with a change of hat here, and a
sideways stance there for the most taciturn of pipe-smoking pub regulars.
Through Kent's tentative Herriot, we encounter the familiar Farnon double act of
Siegfried and Tristan and ornery Yorkshire farmers with their gruff ways and gruffer
sheep, and we learn of his first romantic steps with Helen.'
