Reviews:

"I watched Mildred Freeman's Halloween Special 'Vice and Villainy' tonight. It was fantastic. The stories were well chosen( and included lots of tales that I didn't know). Mildred was engaging and her style of story telling held my attention throughout her 90 minute performance."

"Really enjoyed an atmospheric Halloween with Mildred Freeman hearing tales of vice and villainy in Nottingham from the comfort of my own living room. Highly recommended- loved the Victorian parlour where Mildred tells such tales and it was a great insight into the dubious history of my home city! Can't wait for more!"
