Testimonials

"The Abbey Theatre regularly uses Black Powder Monkeys (and in particular Sé Purcell) to consult on our pyrotechnic needs.

The service we get from Black Powder Monkeys is excellent. Using their extensive knowledge of the legalities and idiosyncrasies of the Irish pyrotechnic industry and associated legislation, Black Powder Monkeys have been able to expedite and deliver on a wide range of effects required for our shows in various challenging parameters.

Their professionalism, thoroughness and attention to detail are beyond reproach.

This, along with their excellent people skills and flexibility makes them an excellent choice for our purposes."

Des Kenny, Production Manager, The Abbey Theatre

" Sé Purcell and his team at Black Powder Monkeys are always my first choice when it comes to fireworks, pyrotechnics and special effects. Sé is always willing to get involved in the creative planning and understands the need to integrate his elements into the overall show and the importance of impeccable timing. Sé is meticulous when it comes to safety and will always find the time to brief performers and crew until he is satisfied that they are fully competent and comfortable with the effects. In summary BPM provides a creative spark, expertly delivered with the utmost respect for safety – a dream to work with!"
