If
you missed this- you missed a real triumph! Congratulations have to go to
all involved in this very challenging piece - not only did we pull it off
- we excelled! It was a consummate piece of teamwork from everyone. The audience
were rolling in their seats and ached with laughter- the cast just ached!!
Attendance was very high - although we could have squeezed a few more in on
Wednesday (please don't avoid first nights - we are starting to play to sell
out audiences on our Friday and Saturday performances - and first night is
not a dress rehearsal - contrary to the N.O. script!)
There are lots of reviews on the Reviews Page - please feel free to add to
them!
