We have had a review from Sue Dupont the NODA Representative, and it is as follows: “Snow white and the seven tradesmen is a clever idea and incorporating a good story line, well done Hannah Jackson. Well the “mirror” announcements regarding exits and phones just set the style and scene for this show. A lovely colourful set greeted the audience and we were into the story and the pantomime elements. The usual introduction to the characters with a loud-mouthed and decibel strong Dame Bo from Dorinda Clover, her sons Harry and Dickie (Oliver Gilding- Hewitt and Connor Hawkins), and, of course, Snow White (Leah Catten): good to see this younger element in the group doing well. And some control from Captain Flatfoot (Noel Spruce) over the situations. A truly “blue rinse” special with eyes and costume to match, Val Pinkham relished the role of Queen Gorgonzola, the stepmother plotting the death of Snow White, and her relationships and dialogues with that flexible mirror were superb in the interplay of words. And just loved the seven tradesmen in the cottage, of course the Flanders and Swann song “the Gasman” must have been the inspiration, just add your local butcher and baker for the seven and the team is complete and works well. And in the second half when help is needed for a poison, we were treated to a truly excellent scene with the apothecary and his experiments, Dominic Pinkham lit up this whole sequence in more ways than one. The audience enjoyed the whole experience of a fun evening with a slightly different twist on a familiar story, good to see such excellent support from the village.” Sue Dupont. This is an excellent review and just shows how good a job our Sue did as director, not forgetting her right hand man – Derek. Well done one and all! Briton Players latest production of Snow White and the Seven Tradesmen completed it’s last performance on the 10th December. The audiences were treated to tremendous pantomime fare , and a surprise visitor! All the shows were enjoyed by everybody. A Dvd of the shows has been produced and is available from Neil Fippard. This latest production from the Briston Players has completed audittions and is now into rehearsals. Performances are scheduled for 20th, 21st, 27th, and 28th April 2012. |
