The Apple Special Event is a show run by Apple. During the event, Apple generally release new products during these shows, so they are very exciting for tech lovers!

I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it because the storyline itself was gripping and for this to be acted out live was an amazing privilege to watch. The lighting and sound effects just added to the brilliance of this play. If you wanted a fab night out I would recommend this play to you as it has also taught me a lot too. I have learnt that most of the audience's attention is mainly grasped by the technical effects so this area is key in the play. These effects are also significant when creating the mood and atmosphere of the setting which helps the audience connect with the play and characters. Overall the actors and backstage crew definitely deserve a lot of credit for the wonderful play!

A concert held at All Saints' Church in Hertford, great choir, soloists, and trumpeter. I had a great time!
