Easter 2008 production of 'The Secret Garden' |

Please offer my thanks to your society for inviting Denis and me last night to the enchanting production of "The Secret Garden" which we felt very privileged to see. The whole company is worthy of the highest praise for presenting such a beautifully cast, well-dressed and highly polished performance. Accompanied by a most simpatico MD and fine orchestra, we were thrilled throughout with the vocal talent, both solo and concerted. The sets were
amazingly fine and full marks must be awarded to the splendid crew who
worked so hard to provide the seamless changes and transform the stage,
particularly the garden to its magnificent fruition, including the charming
robin! The talented cast easily rose to the challenge set, with Rebecca
Rowntree bringing to the role of Mary Lennox, a maturity and depth of
feeling rarely seen in one so young. Brava! She was given strong support
from James Gilmore's invalid, Colin, Jake Chew's nature-loving Dickon and
lovely, warm-hearted Martha. Deeply impressive was the sincerity and
beautiful singing of Archibald and Neville Craven, especially their moving
duet "Lily's Eyes" and Lily's evocative rendering of "Come To My Garden".
Add this to the impeccable support from the rest of the principals and
chorus of spirits to make this production one of the most moving experiences
recently seen. |

I
just wanted to
thank you for a wonderful evening on Saturday 29th. It was by chance I was
walking by the Playhouse on that morning
and noticed your poster. I mentioned it to my husband late on that afternoon
and at 6.30 I rang to see if there were any tickets. I was told that two had
been returned on the front row of the circle. We quickly got ready and
arrived in good time to pick up our tickets. As soon as the show started I felt confident it was going to be good and I was not disappointed. The orchestra, scenery, lighting, voices, costumes and the continuity was amazing. I am looking forward to your next production and also telling my friends just how good you all were. We do have some insight into how much hard work goes into a production as my husband and I were members of Clevedon Light Opera for 22 years. Congratulations once again and thank you for a very memorable evening. M and J W |

I have been
meaning to drop you a line since I saw the excellent production of “The
Secret Garden” at the Playhouse. It truly was a superb production in every
way. Very professional and of the highest standard! It really was
great. My 14 year old daughter loved it as did her friend. Please do pass on
my compliments to the whole cast. I was extremely impressed with the
children too and the way the soloists held their vocal parts so well when
two voices intertwined the melodies together. Well done to you and everyone
else! |

Easter 2007 production of 'Sweeney Todd' |
|
To all of the cast and crew of Sweeney Todd, I came to see your production last night (Saturday 14th April), and am just writing to congratulate you on such a fantastic and moving show. If I had not known better, I would have thought your production was by a professional company - I was blown away by the brilliant and highly moving acting, the wonderful singing voices, the fabulous music, everything! Every person on the stage was so talented, from the leading actors to the ensemble, and I was mesmerised from start to finish. I wish you all the best for the future - I will definitely be coming to see more of your productions. Thank you for such a wonderful evening's entertainment. CT |

My
congratulations on your latest production 'Sweeney Todd'. I was greatly
impressed. And although I know it's not a show popular with some, I have
grown to love it and totally enjoyed the Brian Buttle production of it. Again my congratulations to all the cast and everyone involved. Yours truly GH |
