Licence to Kill

Comments from 2010

Thank you very much, I am very grateful that I saw this, hearing others experiences has made me think and had a real impact. I've seen it twice now; I never feel like I have thanked everyone properly but I am truly thankful/appreciative to all those involved and the work they do.

This was the saddest thing I have ever seen and it's made me so aware of my surroundings - thank you so so much to everyone involved, no one expected it at all and it was just very clever

Saw this at the Margate Wintergardens this month, and I have to say, at first, we were all treating it as a day out of school to mess about. As soon as the first speakers came on stage, however, we were all lost for words. The message was definitely hard hitting and most people were crying by the end, but I can honestly say it was the most worthwhile education project I have ever been to and it would be great to see it go nationwide, as the info you take away is invaluable. Thanks to everyone involved, I think about what all of you said every time I drive now. Keep up the awesome work!

I saw this yesterday, at first everyone treated it like a normal boring school trip , but once the first person spoke on stage , everyone.s opinion changed. Very very welldone for those brave people who talked with so much power it made me want to cry , me and everyone else now understand the real importance of driving at our age.

Saw this yesterday and it was so moving! got told about it by a few people that went last year, but nothing they told me could've made as much impact as it did seeing it for real. i really wanted to say thanks to all the people that stood up and shared their experiences with us all, but i was honestly lost for words. thank you, you have made me think twice about how to drive x

This was very eye opening, it really highlights the dangers of driving. I was slightly worried about getting into a car afterwards, but it got the message across really well.

This was so sad!! It's really made me concious about road safety, even when im crossing the road! I think it really made everyone think, and spencer was really brave to have told his story. Licence to kill should go to unis and even people at work up to 25yrs its really made me think, hopefully it'd make others more aware too.

Watching this talk actually made me stop and think. Hearing everybody's stories and experiences was just so moving. When Spencer walked onto the stage and started telling his stories my heart just dropped and I didn't know what to think, the only thing i could do was to cry, not crying for the sake of it but crying because i realise the horror and emotion people go through when traffic collisions occur.

I went to see licence to kill yesterday and i was so shocked at the amazing stories that had been told and to be honest the little film made me cry, but i learnt that it makes you think twice before entering a car and what could happen to you in future. My heart goes out to all those who have died and their families. Thank you for showing me and helping me see through a different perspective, i believe if everyone saw this they would all benefit. thank you again.

It has opened mine and many other people's eyes to the dangers on the road. it was very emotional for me. I would like to say a huge well done to the people involved in the show, and i think that they are all so brave... i want to say an especially big thanks to the paramedics, firefighters and the police force, because without them accidents on the road could be a lot worse...

I found today to be emotional and shocking which is not what I expected. Everyone who stood up on the stage today were so brave. I knew driving was dangerous and can cause serious damage, but seeing those people tell their real life stories, and being able to see how their lives have been affected and change by other people really made me think.

I saw "Licence to Kill" yesterday and thought it did a great job of showing how dangerous young drivers can be. My friend was in a car crash in late may of this year, he hasn't yet recovered and seeing someone on stage who had been through almost the exact same thing as my friend was a very uplifting thing to see. that there are people around who understand and care enough to try to do something about the dangers of inexperienced drivers made me leave the theatre with a smile, thank you.

I saw Licence to Kill today and it really made me think about how dangerous driving can be, really moved a lot of us, great job! :)

The speakers had such an impact on students and staff alike. I can think of no better way to drive the message home. You made it real and relevant to our lives. Students are still talking about it now, and I'm quite sure it will be on their minds as they drive or are driven by young drivers.

A very powerful, thought provoking performance, something that every road user should see.

It actually made me stop and think about everything, when you watch videos of crashes etc it never hits you the way this did, real people in real situations is incredibly hard hitting. I think this should be performed in front of older people aswell, I believe its shocking enough to get through to many people out there. Well done to everyone who spoke especially the mum of the 16 year old, incredibly touching.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all who have organised and took part in this presentation. This has to be the most emotional and beneficial talks I have ever taken my students to. We were so moved by all of the brave and courageous speakers. I would recommend this to any tutor or teacher. I believe this presentation will save lives. Once again thank you and well done!

A very thought-provoking presentation. Thank you for making me and many other people think about the effects on reckless driving. I cried and couldn't help it, as it was very powerful.
Bex, Grammar school for girls Wilmington

This was the most moving presentation I have ever watched in my life. This has mad me think twice about what to do when I start driving, I'm just beginning to take lessons and I am really thinking twice about things. Thank You for the insight as to what happens and for making me think twice.
Jennifer Hughes, Walderslade Joint Sixth Form

Thanks to everyone involved in making this, especially those who have lost people close to them as it must be hard. I think everyone in the audience appreciated it and I know it opened a lot of eyes. Probably the most worthwhile school trip we've ever been on. Cheers guys
Dom, Norton Knatchbull School

Today's production had a really big impact on everyone. I don't think anyone will forget the stories told and I hope it will make people more considerate and careful when driving. Thank you to all the people who took part, despite how hard it must have been for some of them.
Bethany, Wilmington Girls Grammar

I saw the presentation today (23/11/2007) at Maidstone leisure centre, and I think it had a big affect on the way the people watching (including me) now view life. This very hard hitting presentation made me step back and think about all those lives lost.

I went and saw Licence to Kill this morning at the Winter Gardens and it was a truly amazing. The atmosphere in the theatre was just unbelievable. By the end, everyone was so emotional and quiet, I saw so many people crying as they left. Thank you for this remarkable presentation. You have really shown the reality of safety and responsibly on the roads, and how easy accidents can occur and people are hurt (physically or emotionally) when not acting responsible. Well done to all those involved....you are so brave. Thank you again.

It's a truly remarkable presentation. It really emphasised the extent of the problem there is and how devastating it can be to everyone involved. To be honest, I think most people just never thought about it. I think it should be used around the country!
Chris, Dane Court Grammar

I honestly thought that this production was going to be no different from the others I have seen through school but I was completely wrong. The real life accounts created an indescribable atmosphere in the theatre and it was then that the message really hit home
Student, Chapter Secondary School

The performance really sent the message home. This is a topic that needs brave people to deliver the harsh reality of the topic, and you most certainly did that.
