Sleeping Beauty

A pantomime with many laughs and likeable characters, through constant

relation to modern times kept the audiences in hysterics throughout.

Merry Wives Of Winsor

Although this type of theatre is not a favourite of mine it was a comical play using all shakespeares original conventions to make this a truly traditional play.

A Taster of Urashimo Taro

A Talk with the cast of Urashimo Taro

The talk afterwards was definutly interesting to see the puppets and to find that the actress herself actually made them. She based them upon herself, maybe this was why she had such a good relationship with them. The cast consisted of herself and the director they made a fasinating piece which used many japanese theatre conventions such as paper theatre this was truely a very creative piece of theatre.

Urashimo Taro

A fasinating piece based on a Japanese myth this was enchanting with the use of the puppets in a stylised mannor.

Hamlet

With a great amount of multiroling from having a cast of just two people for this shapeare piece and also by breaking the fourth wall members of the audience were captured throughout.

Blythe Spirit

A carry on type of comedy with rounded characters but a insubstantial plot.

Lily through the dark Behind the scenes

Lily through the dark

I beautiful display of puppetring with a sad story beneath of the death of a young girls father resulting in her own death which was lightened with humour by the comical characters.

Monolgue and Landscape

This strange piece had no plot which was difficult to truely grasp the story, yet the three characters had great deapth especialy the two men who were great actors. left you wanting to know so much more.

Avenue Q

Most laughs I have had from a performance, fantasic songs and acting from the young actors who had the audience in histerics
