<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Dial M For Murder by Frederick Knott</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Directed by Mary Jones</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Produced by Leicester Drama Society</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">At The Little Theatre til Saturday 9th
February 2024 </span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">“a good, old fashioned crime thriller”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Back in 1952 when Dial M For Murder was
written things were very different. Men went out to work and provided for their
family and women stayed home and kept house. But, behind closed doors, all is
not as it seems.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Tony Wendice is an ex professional tennis
player married to wealthy socialite Sheila. They live in a very nice ground
floor mansion apartment in West London but Sheila (Amber Goddard) has been
cheating on Tony (Andy Longley-Brown) with Max Halliday (Sam White).
Unfortunately Tony knows about the cheating and is plotting to kill his wife
and inherit her fortune. Tony inveigles an old school colleague, Tony Swann,
aka Captain Lesgate, (Paul Large) into committing the murder for £1000 on his
behalf. It will be, he says, the perfect crime. And so, as we approach the end
of the first half, the murder is committed. Only the wrong person ends up dead!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Unusually we, the audience, already know who
got killed, by whom, and how. It is now up to the indubitable Inspector Hubbard
(Adam Jones) to unravel the mystery. Tony Wendice proves to be an arch
manipulator and seems to be on the verge of getting away with it while his wife
is awaiting the hangman’s noose. But her lover, Max, is determined to save her.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Dial M For Murder is a good, old fashioned crime
thriller beautifully acted in a wonderful 1950’s set designed by Gemma Greaves.
Mary Jones’ direction is faultless and the actor’s clipped accents perfectly place
them in post war middle class London, a world of landlines and prompt policemen.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: windowtext;">Dial M For Murder is at The Little Theatre
until Saturday 9<sup>th</sup> March</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“a loud, brash heavy rock opera”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Way back in 1971 Lloyd Webber and Rice, young upstart
musical theatre composers, innovatively released a concept album of their rock
opera based on the last week of Jesus before his crucifixion. Told from the
perspective of Judas and his disillusionment of the Messiah’s teachings, it has
taken until now for the full horror of those days to be fully explored on stage.
Previously productions tended to be sanitised for general consumption but this
touring version is the Regents Park Open Air Theatre production which played to
great acclaim in 2016. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The set is an industrial arrangement of girders and
boxes with a live band seated up on both sides. There are two crosses, one up
against the back wall and another laid down centre stage. The lighting by Lee
Curran is almost a character in its own right.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While the story may be as old as the hills (or the
bible) director Tomothy Sheader, designer Tom Scutt and choreographer Drew
McOnie have laid the emphasis on the cult-like devotion of the acolytes and followers
who seem to be caught up in a mass hysterical adoration of the Jesus
figurehead. The extraordinary ensemble of dancers/singers ululate as if mesmerised,
swaying and repeating the same phrases over and over.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As Judas Shem Omari James (an awesome voice) narrates
much of the story and is, of course, Jesus’ eventual downfall. Hannah
Richardson’s Mary has the most memorable song, I Don’t Know How To Love him
which is also reprised, tellingly, by Judas at the end. While Pilate (Ryan O’Donnell)
is the main villain it is Timo Tatzber’s outrageously camp androgenous Herod
who brings a touch of pantomime baddie to the stage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While every single one of the actors have faultless
vocal talents it is Ian McIntosh’s Jesus who brings the house down with an extraordinary
singing voice that leaves the audience breathless. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It has to be said that this production is not for the
faint hearted. The second half is especially harrowing as the brutality is
ramped up to the actual crucifixion. Ultimately this is a loud, brash heavy
rock opera.</span></p>

</span>show”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">CS Lewis’ best known work, The Lion, The Witch and the
Wardrobe, is understandably a staple for amateur theatre producers as it has
ample room within the story for numerous local youngsters to enjoy being part
of a stage show.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Unfortunately, the success of the production relies
heavily on the quality of the sets and special effects and they cost money.
Something most amateur companies are short of.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Festival Players at Loughborough Town Hall have a
reputation for putting on professional standard shows. Unfortunately this
production falls short of their usual high standards. There was nothing wrong with
the acting, it as good as any production I have seen from them. What let it
down were the sets and general production values; scene changes were invariably
clunky.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That said high praise has to go to the actors,
especially the children, Peter (William Evans), Susan (Maisie Ramsey), Edmund
(Max Hayman) and Lucy (Elspeth McClymount-Cornell). As the children explore the
world of Narnia through the magic wardrobe they come up against the villain of
the piece, The White Witch (Julie Easter channelling Hannah Waddingham!) as
they search to release Mr Tumnus (Michael Arrowsmith) from her clutches. Along
the way they are helped by Mr Beaver (Gareth Busson) and his Mrs (Claire
Malpas). Of course the ‘star’ of the show is Aslan the Lion of the title, a
giant puppet voiced by James Daw (or was it Brian Blessed?).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">All in all it is an entertaining show but could have
done with more money spent on it</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Produced by ATG</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At Playhouse Theatre, London</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“an extraordinary production”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Playhouse Theatre has been completely refitted as
the seedy Kit Kat Club of 1920’s Berlin. We walked into the entrance, an
otherwise unremarkable door in an unremarkable wall, and threaded our way along
a series of narrow corridors towards the basement. Along the way we passed alcoves
where random performers danced or played instruments. The atmosphere was
building. Eventually we came to a fork, one way to the stalls and the other way
back up to the circles. We went right and started to climb up to our seta in
the Gods.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As we edged into our seats high above the lighting rig
(a bargain at £30!) we got our first view of the performance area. I hesitate
to call it a stage as it was in the round, a circular raised platform made to
look like reclaimed wood. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As we had been warned there were already pre-show
entertainments in progress; the Kit Kat ‘Orchestra’ members were dancing and
playing instruments around the performance area drifting amongst the audience
like wraiths.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Then, suddenly, with a clash of the ‘proper’ band the
lights dimmed and the show proper started with the Emcee (Jakes Shears)
suddenly illuminated in the centre of the stage. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have seen a couple of productions of Cabaret but
this one is by far the best and the darkest. The first half is full of laughs
and pathos but gradually you feel the benign influence of the encroaching Nazi
influence. This is subtly illustrated by Sally Bowles (Nic Myers) portrayed as
a puppet, an apologist for the approaching terror.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the second half the full horror of what is to come is
shown as Sally falls apart.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This is an extraordinary production that should be
seen<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by as many as possible.</span></p>

race and decide to live ‘off grid’ and be self-sufficient by growing their own
veg and keeping livestock in the back garden, much to the horror of their next
door neighbours Jerry and Margo Leadbetter. Tom (Freddie Dobrijevic) is like a
teenager who has just discovered puppies, overexcited and flailing around from
one obsession to another. His adoring wife Barbara (Liz Kavanagh) is the
practical one in the relationship, constantly reigning in her husband to be
more practical. Jerry (David Lovell), Tom’s ex-boss, is hen pecked by his wife
and downtrodden by his lot in life. Then we come to Margo (Alexandra Elliot)
Jerry’s imperious wife with no sense of humour and often the butt of Tom and

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Directed by Leigh White</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Produced by Leicester Drama Society</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At The Little Theatre til Saturday 27/1/24</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Laughs and tears in equal measure”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Al and Bet are an unwordly Yorkshire couple, together
for 10 years and, if the truth be told, rather jaded in their relationship. Al
has been made redundant and spends all his time in his shed creating appallingly
bad paintings while Bet is the breadwinner of the house. Al feels his
masculinity ebbing away as he can’t even afford to go down the pub and drown
his sorrows in 8 pints. Bet’s guilty pleasure is doing competitions in her
magazines, and she is quite successful in a moderate way, until one day she
wins big, a break to Paris, the city of romance. Al, stuck in his self-pitying
rut, wants none of ‘that foreign muck’ and won’t go on a boat in case it sinks.
Despite all his objections he relents and they set off for foreign climes where
a new spring is put in their steps.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As always with John Godber’s work April in Paris is
very funny, in fact the first belly laugh comes barely 2 minutes in. As we
eavesdrop on Al and Bet’s stagnant relationship there are poignant moments
interwoven with the bickering and sniping. What is especially clever is the
frequent whispers from the audience when they recognise their own relationship’s
foibles being played out on stage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This is a two-hander and capably played by Steve
Feeney (Al) and Kat Seddon (Bet) on a sparse but versatile set designed by Jake
Smart where cane chairs and suitcases become bedrooms, ships and restaurants. </span></p>

him into the neighbourhood.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Once again Imagine Theatre has provided us with a
spectacular pantomime at Leicester’s DeMontfort Hall. Returning again are local
favourites Sam Bailey and Jarred Christmas. This year they are joined by Jack
Ballard, a very worthy replacement for panto stalwart Martin Ballard (and yes,
they are related. Son and father). Making his pantomime debut is Radio 2 DJ
Scott Mills as Mayor Mills.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jack and the Beanstalk is a wonderful family-friendly show
full of songs, dancing and comedy. It also has some great special effects.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The story, such as it is, follows Jack Trott (90’s pop
band A1’s Mark Read) as he returns from his travels penniless and hoping that
his late father, the miller, has left him money. To the dismay of his mother,
Dame Trott (Jack Ballard having huge fun with the role) the house and mill are
up to their ears in debt to Giant Blunderthwaite (Thomas Brackley in an
astonishing costume/animatronic standing more than 10 feet tall). The Giant’s
henchman, appropriately named Fleshcreep (a very hissable baddie played with
relish by Mark Beauchamp), is tasked with collecting the debt. Jack, intent on
marrying his childhood sweetheart Jill Mills, the Mayor’s daughter (Christina
Harris), vows to clear the debt by selling the family’s much loved cow,
Buttercup. Unfortunately he ends up with worthless beans but they do turn out
to be magic beans and grow up to the Giant’s lair. So, with Lazy Larry (Jarred
Christmas returning to Leicester to play the fool) the family set out to slay
the Giant and put everything right.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Popping up regularly is Fairy Flutterby (local singing
sensation Sam Bailey) who pushes the narrative along. This year she seems to
have a more prominent role, much to the delight of the audience.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The main cast are very well supported by a talented
ensemble of six singers and dancers as well as alternating teams of eight local
youngsters choreographed by Aaron Renfree. The hilarious locally referenced
script by panto maestro Eric Potts hits all the right notes while director Janice
Dunn has created a magical world of wonder for children of all ages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jack and the Beanstalk runs at DeMontfort Hall until Sunday

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“A most traditional of pantomimes”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This year’s Little Theatre pantomime is the most
traditional of pantomimes, Puss In Boots.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Written by director and star John Bale this is the
story of Tom (Simon Butler), the late miller’s son, returning penniless from his
travels to, hopefully, claim his inheritance and marry his childhood
sweetheart, Princess Lilly (Alice Marshall). Unfortunately the evil landlord
Malavort (a splendidly camp Joe Middleton) puts a dampener on things by
suddenly calling in the miller’s huge loans and leaving the family without
anything. Tom’s younger brother Silly Billy (a wonderfully energetic Abdullah
Henly) tries to help but, of course, only makes things worse. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As Queen Camilla John Bale’s Dame indulges his
imagination with an every more outrageous selection of frocks alongside his
sidekick Chamberlain Fusspot (a wonderfully comedic Russell Webster) who break
each other up when they wander off script. Of course panto wouldn’t be panto
without a Good Fairy and Natasha Ann-Carr’s Spirit of Cat-Land fills in the
narrative gaps while the titular Puss in Boots is thigh slappingly played by
Rose Bale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">All the elements of the best pantomimes are here, lots
of audience participation, glittering costumes and awful puns. What’s not to
like?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To fill out the scenes there are a bevy of eight
dancers and singers who perform the many shoe-horned in old and new pop songs,
as is traditional. The opening night was full to the brim with over-excited
youngsters and parents. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The sets designed by Jacob Martin are very
professional, as are the extraordinary costumes overseen by Mr Bale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Puss In Boots is at The Little Theatre until Sunday 7<sup>th</sup>
January</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At Curve til Saturday 13<sup>th</sup> January 2024</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“an astonishing production”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Wow! Wow! Wow!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Do yourself a favour and swap your Christmas shopping
from Waitrose to Lidl this year and bag a ticket (or three) for this
astonishing production of Evita.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This seminal musical by Lloyd Webber and Rice from
1978 was originally a rock opera concept album in 1976. Such was its success
that a full show was fashioned around the music and an iconic production was
born and spent 8 years in London’s West End. It opened on Broadway in 1979 and
ran til 1983. Since then it has had productions around the world and regularly
tours the UK.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So I was excited to hear that our very own Nikolai
Foster was staging it in his own inimitable style. And boy, what style. Much
like the current London production of Sunset Boulevard, Foster’s Evita has a
pared back stage which allows the songs and the singers to, rightly, shine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Evita follows the rise of Eva </span>Duarte, a social
climbing model, radio star and actress (remind you of anyone?) who, having
slept her way up the social ladder eventually manoeuvres herself into the sphere
of political climber Juan Peron. Peron soon gets elected President of Argentina
with her by his side. However, with success comes accountability and suddenly her
charitable work is being scrutinised and found to be wanting. As Eva’s health
starts to falter she realises that all that glitters is not gold and her
aspirations for class and wealth have not brought her happiness. All that she has
achieved is her love for and by the people of Argentina.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A huge cast is lead by Martha Kirby as Eva Peron and Gary
Milner as Juan Peron. Che, the Narrator, is mischievously played by Tyrone
Huntley who pushes the story along while voicing some of the nay sayers of
Argentina. A<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>large ensemble is further
bolstered with two alternating teams of young <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>local performers. A live orchestra of nine
hidden below the front of stage and led by George Strickland and Tom Slade give
the production a really full blooded feel. However it is the set (design by
Michael Taylor) and lighting (Joshie Harriette) that give this production the
wow factor. Choreographer Adam Murray brings an extraordinary energy to the
various dance routines. The set of girders and gantries give a very apt
industrial feel to everything but for sheer drama the opening scene of Eva’s
funeral takes some beating.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is Curve’s festive offering and runs right through to
the middle of January so, do yourself a favour, and get a ticket and lose
yourself in this amazing production of one of the first influencers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Evita is at Curve until Saturday 13<sup>th</sup> January

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Knighton Park Operatic Society have garnered a huge
cast of precociously talented youngsters and adults in this most joyous of hits.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Based closely on the hit film Nativity, this musical
version by the same author is almost<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>pantomime and includes plenty of local references.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The story is that disillusioned primary school teacher
Mr Maddens (Daniel Rowberry) has been pressured by his headmistress, Mrs Bevan
(Keziah Caldwell), into mounting the annual Christmas play and has promised his
class of primary school kids that a big Hollywood producer is coming to their
Coventry school to see their Nativity Musical in order to make a film of it. Of
course this is just a ploy to encourage their participation. Unfortunately new
Teaching Assistant Mr Poppy (Ed Turner) overhears and takes it as true. Thus is
started a real comedy of errors. No matter how Mr Maddens denies it nobody
believes him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Ed Turner’s Mr Poppy is an extraordinary performance
of someone who has had 5 espressos and a couple of bags of Haribo and, deep
inside, still thinks he is 5 years old as he bounces around Tigger-like. This behaviour,
of course, bonds him to the kids and they give him, and Maddens, amazing
performances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Right from the start there are laughs galore and they
don’t stop til the welling up of tears at the final curtain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">As well as a great adult cast of exemplary singers,
there are two alternating groups of talented youngsters. Tucked away at the
front of the stage is also a 12 piece live orchestra.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Unfortunately the entire run is sold out, not a seat
to be had. You might want to try calling the box office to see if they have had
any returns but I doubt anyone will be giving up their tickets willingly. It
was so gratifying to see an audience that ranged from a babe in arms to proud
grandparents thoroughly enjoying themselves.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">"Voyage Round My Father" is a poignant play
written by John Mortimer, exploring the complexities of his relationship with
his father. The narrative, filled with wit and emotion, delves into themes of
family, identity, and the challenges of understanding a parent. The characters
are richly developed, and Mortimer's clever dialogue adds depth to the
exploration of the father-son dynamic. The play strikes a balance between humour
and heartfelt moments, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Growing up in the shadow of a brilliant and eccentric
barrister, a man (Rupert Everett) whose tea-time conversation could take in
music hall, adultery, evolution, the ridiculous inconvenience of sex,
Shakespeare, and the importance of avoiding anything heroic in wartime, the son
(Jack Bardoe) continually yearns for his father’s love and respect. The entire
family studiously avoid any mention of Father’s blindness, cause by an accident
in his early 20’s.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A versatile ensemble fills out the other characters in the
son’s life as he moves through school and ultimately follows his father into
law.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bardoes’ son is the main narrator while Everett pops in and
out causing chaos for his son and wife (Eleanor David).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What makes this all the more funny and poignant is that all
the characters are real people from Mortimer’s life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Simply staged the script is the thing<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p>

society.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Julie Steroll (Cathy Sullivan) and Jane Banbury (Ranata
Maynard) are two bored wives discussing their past adventures. Both have had a
relationship with a French gigolo called Maurice Duclos (Steven Feeney) in the
past, long before their current marriages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">However, both have received postcards from Maurice
saying he will be in town and would love to meet up. This induces a frisson of
emotional fire in the pair of jaded housewives as they debate whether to meet
the lothario or even more.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Unfortunately this fire also ignites a jealousy which

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Hovering over this drama is the know-it-all,

off on a surprising tangent as the curtain falls.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Frazzled new Mum Jenny (Louisa Lytton) has been coping
alone in the new house she has bought with husband Sam (Nathaniel Curtis) who
has just returned from working away. Now he is back home they are throwing
their first dinner party with long time friend Lauren (Charlene Boyd) and her
new man Ben (Joe Absolom).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jenny has been hearing strange noises at 02:22 for the
last few nights. Is it just foxes, as sceptic Sam insists, or is it more
supernatural, as Ben suspects? As both men are know-it-alls the conversations
gets fraught.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Gradually Jenny becomes more convinced that Ben may be
on to something. While Lauren just gets drunker and secrets come tumbling out.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Both the laughs and the shocks come thick and fast as
we watch the digital clocks on set creep closer to 2:22. What does actually
happen when the time arrives?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“A spooky treat for Halloween”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As we creep towards winter and Halloween is just round
the corner the atmosphere is just right for a visit to The Little Theatre and
the spooky The Innocents. Based on Henry James’ 1898 novella The Turn of the
Screw this play premiered on Broadway in 1950 and has been a staple of amateur
companies ever since. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In 1880 Miss Gidden (Amber Goddard) is the latest in a
long line of governesses brought into the house to teach orphans 8 year old
Flora (Amy Rainbow) and 12 year old Miles (Daniel Betties). The only other
adult in the house is the housekeeper/cook Mrs Grose (Karen Gordon).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Despite her constant asking nobody will tell Miss
Gidden exactly what happened to her predecessors. Slowly she unravels and tragedy
ensues.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The small cast of 4 held the audience spellbound with
especial kudos to the two actors playing the children. Such assured
performances for ones so young.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Special mention has to be made for the sound design of
Amanda Priestly and the lighting design of Jenny Harding & Martin Scott
which certainly added to the atmosphere.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Shrek The Musical doesn’t stray very far from the
Dreamworks original animated film.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Shrek (Antony Lawrence), the least scary ogre in, well
just outside, Duloc, is thrown out by his parents at age 7, as is common with
ogres at the time. He is determined to confront the fey Lord Farquaad (James Gillan),
regain the freedom of the swamp for himself and the release from banishment of all

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">“A powerful indictment of a terrible period in history”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">First up I have to say that I have never read the book
so I have sat down with no preconceptions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The Book Thief is set in 1940 Germany, a time when
Nazism was making its presence felt across Europe and nobody had any idea of
the horrors to come.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Illiterate Liesel (Erini Louskou at tonight’s Press
Night giving a very assured performance) has just lost both her parents and
brother. Kneeling by her brother’s graveside she steals her first book. Her
Jewish foster parents Rosa and Hans Huberman (Mina Anwar and Jack Lord) hide a
Jewish boy, Max (Daniel Krikler), in their cellar and it is he that instils in
Liesel the wonders of reading and writing so she steals books whenever she can
to feed her voracious appetite for education. As Max says, words are the most
powerful thing in the world and can change things for good and bad. This theme
is beautifully carried through with a sequence where a huge puppet of Hitler is
made out of papier mâché, paper covered in words.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Liesel, like Anne Frank, determines to write down
everything she sees and shares it with her friend Rudy (Oliver Gordon giving a
precociously energetic performance). That way it will never be forgotten. And
as we now know, without those testimonies some would conveniently forget.
Watching the lines of Jews being herded onto trains we are reminded of modern
day efforts to wipe out voices with cancel culture.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">You might think that a story of privation, abuse and
worse would not be suitable material for a musical but both the authors and the
musical composers have layered the narrative with humour throughout, especially
the domestic sparring between Rosa and her husband Hans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The cast includes a large ensemble of talented
dancer/singers who inhabit various characters as well as moving props. The set,
designed by Good Teeth, is a wonder to behold.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The Book Thief runs at Curve until Saturday 14<sup>th</sup>
October. At the moment there are no confirmed dates for it to transfer. It
deserves to end up in London.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Set in 1970’s working class Liverpool Stags & Hens
explores the different sensibilities of men and women on a night out.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It is Linda (Holly Matuisiewicz) and Dave’s (Simon
Butler) night before their wedding. Both inadvertently turn up at the same run
down nightclub.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As their night progresses and their alcohol consumption
increases the different ways the two groups deal with things emerges. In the
boy’s toilets testosterone levels rise as Eddy (Lewis Cole) tries to butch up
the group. While Robbie (Joey Perez-Jones) is just bemoaning the fact that Dave
has thrown up an earlier consumed curry all over his best pulling trousers. Kav
(Matt Zebrowski) is the group lush and is more interested in his art that the
rough and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>tumble of the night. Finally
there is Billy (Russell Webster), the odd ball pushed around by the rest of the
group.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Meanwhile, over at the graffiti strewn ladies’ toilets
the girls are gathering themselves to enter the fray of the dancefloor. Bride
to be Linda is locked in a cubicle trying to decide whether she really wants to
be married while her friends are jostling for the sole mirror as they put the
finishing touches to their war paint.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Maureen (Olivia Phillips) is constantly slurping from
the secreted half bottle of cheap vodka in her handbag. She is a maudlin drunk
and spends most of the night in tears hoping for a ‘nice time’. Bernadette
(Angelica Robinson) is the group leader and imposes her will on everyone while
Frances (Amy Hollis) the perpetual best friend tries to smooth everything over.
Finally Carol (Carla Field) a work colleague and not really part of the close
knit circle watches much of the action in wonder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While Linda is wavering in the cubicle trouble in the
form of her ex Peter (Nick Wilkins) appears as the lead singer of a group
appearing in the club later that night. The lads in the Gents are jealous that Peter
managed to escape their poverty stricken lifestyle while the girls are worried
he will drag Linda away from her impending marriage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As usual with a Willy Russell play there are hilarious
one liners and insightful thoughts of working class Liverpool all couched in
the earthy language of the area.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Stags & Hens is not for the easily offended and
runs til Saturday 7<sup>th</sup> October.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">If you loved the Robin Williams film then you will not
be disappointed by this new musical version of the much loved story of a Dad’s
desperate measures to spend time with his kids.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">As Daniel Hillard, the father, Gabriel Vick is a comedic
revelation. His vocal dexterity as he reels off impersonation after
impersonation would have Robin Williams’ appreciation. Add in his clever use of
a vocal looper to great comic effect and this is a career defining performance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Trying desperately to keep up with Vick is Laura
Tebbut as Miranda Hillard, the exasperated wife and mother of his three kids. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The rotating cast of the two younger children are lead
by an adult but very young looking Carla Dixon-Hernandez.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">The story, closely following the film, is of feckless
Daniel, ever the small kid himself, being forced out of the family home by the
Divorce Court. Desperate to have more contact with his offspring than the court
imposed one day per week, he lands himself the a job as their nanny, an old
Scottish woman. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12.0pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">All of the skits and routines from the film are
faithfully recreated onstage. This includes the famous flaming boobs and
dancing hoover moments.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">A Murder is Announced is a staple of amateur theatre
groups largely because it has a relatively large cast of 13 and is staged on a
single set. Agatha Christie wrote detective thriller books which translated easily
to the stage and have remained popular ever since their first publication over
100 years ago.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The plot of this drawing room mystery revolves around
a complicated chain of inheritances sparked by a murder committed, as predicted
by a newspaper announcement, of a stranger on Friday 13<sup>th</sup>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Director John Bale has brought out the comic
possibilities of the script with star turns by Liz Kavanagh as dozy Dora Bunner
(Bunny), companion to Letitia Blacklock (Alexandra Elliot), the lady of the house
and Diana Gatenby Davies as Mitzi the Eastern European maid forever screaming with
paranoid outrage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">A cosy country weekend turns nasty when a strange man is
shot during a blackout. The arrival of both Miss Marple (Jane Towers) and
Inspector Craddock (Michael King) eventually leads to the unravelling of this
typical Christie murder mystery.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">A marvellous set by Jacob Martin whisks us back to
post war Chipping Cleghorn (probably somewhere in the Cotswolds) as a backdrop
for the cast to toss around the machinations of the evening.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">If you like your theatre to be thrilling and funny
then pop down to The Little Theatre this week and see if you can work out
whodunnit!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“a world premiere of a new show”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">My second trip to Curve to see a National Youth
Musical Theatre (NYMT) production this month. How lucky am I?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I am even luckier to be at the world premier of a brand
new production, The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair. Adapted by Jordan
Li-Smith from the much loved children’s classic by LaraWilliamson of the same
name, this is an adult’s attempt to understand how children handle grief. I
know that sounds very morbid but the story is funny, uplifting and ultimately
confirmation that, in the words of one of the songs, everything will be OK.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Becket (14 yr old Sam Carter) is 11 years old and,
along with his little brother Billie (11 yr old James Breen), is trying to come
to terms with the death of his mother and the fact that their father (an extraordinarily
assured 19 yr old Oliver Futcher) is tearing them away from their new almost-mother
Pearl (18 yr old Lily Copland-Jones) in the middle of the night without saying
goodbye.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Trying to make sense of everything Becket snuggles up
in his favourite armchair and comforts himself and Billie with stories.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">An ensemble of extremely talented young talent fill
out the worlds Becket creates. Director Hannah Chissick has enabled each and
every performer the opportunity to shine with their own particular talent. So
we get a fabulous big tap routine side by side with great harmonies and some
good physical comedy, especially from Brian The Snail (18 yr old Bill Stanley).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">While the entire 34 strong cast deserve praise for
their performances special mention has to go to young Sam Carter’s Becket who,
along with James Breen’s Billie, is on stage for virtually the whole time. And
with a first half that ran to 95 minutes that is some achievement.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The set by Richard Cooper is simply a big arch that
lights up and a huge red armchair. A live band of 17 hidden away backstage was
sometimes a little over-loud but I am sure as the week progresses they will get
the balance right.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair is at
Curve until Saturday 19<sup>th</sup> August</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“a very dark comedy”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Based on the 1989 film of the same name Heathers The
Musical follows outsider Veronica Sawyer (Eliza Bowden in her first
professional role) as she finds acceptance by the school bullies, The Heathers.
Weak willed Heather McNamara (Billie Bowman) and bulimic Heather Duke (Elise
Zavou) are in awe of ‘mythic bitch’ Heather Chandler (Verity Thompson). This
trio of witches rule Westerberg High School while facilitating the bullying of
Veronica’s best friend Martha Dunnstock (Kingsley Morton) by jocks Kurt Kelly
(Alex Woodward) and Ram Sweeney (Morgan Jackson). Veronica’s talent for forgery
gets her noticed by the Heathers and she is inducted into their inner circle
and becomes a pawn for their cruelty.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">When one of their ‘japes’ is aimed at Martha mysterious
new boy Jason ‘JD’ Dean (Jacob Fowler) chides Veronica for betraying her friend. And thus
Veronica is taken down a dark path alongside psychopath JD.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This touring production is big, bold and brassy with an
original rock score and outstanding choreography from Gary Lloyd. The set by
David Shields is incredibly versatile with a gantry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This is a very dark comedy that tackles themes like
teenage suicide, bullying and sexual assault. As many women will know to their cost
school girls are far worse bullies than school boys and in Heathers the
oppressed take their ultimate revenge.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Heathers is on at Curve until Saturday 19<sup>th</sup>
August and then continues touring. While most days have few seats still

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Kiss Me Kate by Sam & Bella Spewack, music &
lyrics by Cole Porter</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Directed by Alex Sutton</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Produced by National Youth Music Theatre</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">At Curve til Saturday 12 August 2023</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“packed full of musical theatre stars of tomorrow”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Kiss Me Kate was Cole Porter’s first musical to use
songs to move the story along rather than just bung them in. He was inspired to
copy his heroes Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma’s use of the new method.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Spewacks were asked by producer Arnold
Saint-Subber to use his first-hand knowledge of the on and off stage warring of
then Broadway superstars husband and wife Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne to
mirror the marital sparring of the leading characters in Shakespeare’s The
Taming of The Shrew for a musical version. Cole Porter, known for his very
clever lyrics, was brought in to provide the songs and music. It was a
veritable hit and ran for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway before becoming
a worldwide success.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Being an NYMT production there is a huge cast of 44
gathered from all over the country with ages ranging from 11 to 23 and a live orchestra
of 27 of similar ages and from just as wide a range of homes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This production uses a simple set by Richard Cooper
enhanced by many wheeled boxes that are rolled on and off as required. Lighting
by Jamie Platt ensures the actors are seen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Cleverly the opening number, Another Opening, is
merged into the overture giving the cast plenty of time to transform the bare
stage into a bustling theatre backstage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Kiss Me Kate has a good mix of comedy numbers and the
expected romantic ballads. There are also some ambitious big dance numbers
which the cast handle perfectly showcasing their tap, modern dance and ballet capabilities.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As the eponymous Kate Sydney Richards belies her 21
years and chews up the scenery using her enormous voice to great effect,
especially when she reverts to being actress Lilli Vanessi. That said Charlie Weaver
as Lilli’s ex-husband Fred Graham/Petruchio gives just as good as he gets and
is evenly matched with his stage partner.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Another good comedy partnership is the two gangsters
played by Raphael Goold and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Georgie Lagden,
especially when they are forced to ‘blend in’ by dragging up as Lilli’s
stand-ins.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Special mention must be made of Joseph Brown’s General
Howell, Lilli’s new husband-to-be. Brown carries off the most complicated tongue
twisting number in the entire show, Let’s Not Talk About Love. He was word
perfect.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As is usual<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>with National Youth Music Theatre shows they are packed with up and
coming talent and Kiss Me Kate is no exception. This show is blessed with an
abundance of future musical theatre stars and is highly recommended.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Kiss Me Kate runs at Curve until Saturday 12<sup>th</sup>
August. Next week NYMT is also presenting The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An
Armchair at Curve from 16<sup>th</sup> August</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">Once again Curve has been chosen to kick off a
national tour of a brand new show.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">La Bamba is the latest jukebox musical to brighten up this
dismal summer. Featuring a selection of Latin American hits this tells the
story of 17 yr old Sofia (Ines Fernandez in her professional debut) whose love of
music comes from her late father, Ricardo (Pasha Kovalev ex Strictly professional
dancer) who is constantly looking over her shoulder to encourage her. Supported
by her protective mother, Elena (Stefani Ariza in fine voice) and her best
friend Mateao (The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaren) Sofia heads off to the big bad
world as a singer/songwriter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">A live band of five hidden away under the stage and a
very talented ensemble of dancers/singers ensured the night was filled with
Latin American love.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">It was a shame that several of the key narrative
points were sung in Spanish. It made it hard to follow the story. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">A very vocal disruptive element at the back of the
stalls spoilt the beginning of the show for everyone despite a pre show announcement
asking for people to respect the artistes and audience members. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">That said the cast got a well deserved standing ovation
at the curtain call. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: " times="" new="" roman",serif;="" font-size:="" 12pt;="" line-height:="" 107%;"="">La Bamba continues to tour for the rest of the year
and dates can be found at the usual ticket outlets</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Wish You Were Dead by Peter James, adapted by Shaun
McKenna</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Produced by Joshua Andrews & Peter James</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At Curve til Saturday 22 July 2023</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“the laughs come thick and fast”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If you are a fan of either the books or TV series of Peter
James’ DI Roy Grace (played on TV by John Sim) then you are going to love this
comedy thriller.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Roy Grace (George Rainsford), his wife Cleo (Katie
McGlynn) and their new baby arrive at a remote French ‘chambre d’hote’, not a
hotel but a home with paying guests. Accompanying them are their friends
Kaitlynn (Gemma Stroyan) and Jack (Alex Stedman). Jack has got lost but is due
to join them eventually. Eerily there seems to be no-one around but eventually
the chatelaine, Madame L’Eveque emerges, treating them with the undisguised
disdain only the French have for the English.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Although this is billed as a comedy thriller there is
scant comedy in the first half as the thrills ramp up the tension. You have to
wait for the second half and the arrival of Clive Mantel’s Curtis for the
laughs to come thick and fast. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Wish You Were Dead is at Curve until 22<sup>nd</sup>
July and then continues to tour.</span></p>
