BEST PRODUCTION: HANSEL AND GRETEL, TEDDY HALL
Review by Paul Hardwick
“there was little disagreement that it was between ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and ‘The Lovers’. Both were near faultless and considerably better than much of what is put on at the BT.”
10.00 a.m. Snake in the Grass, Regents Park: “a dialogue of monologues that saw Ruby Thomas pick up the Best Actress award for a darkly disturbing under-played Miriam”
10.45 a.m. Top Girls, St Johns: “the pacing and choice of scenes hampered the actresses noticeably”
11.30 a.m. Hansel and Gretel, Teddy Hall: “a triumph of comedy and style”
12.15 p.m. Great …

“The spirit of Cuppers…two large men quick-changing into lycra to perform a vigorous dance to ‘All the single ladies’” Paul Hardwick

“And what a script” Paul Hardwick

“A surprisingly laugh-free event” Max Mulvany

“The action, though well performed, never fully engaged the audience” Max Mulvany

“The ambition alone could have commended this piece to the spellbound audience” Max Mulvany

‘This play was like Agatha Christie on speed’ Charlotte Mulliner

‘it’s all in the name: a lott of romp…a lus’ Charlotte Mulliner

“What it lacked in polish upon occasion it more than made up for in enthusiasm and good humour” Paul Hardwick

‘Gripping from the onset, the cast portrayed the protagonist’s descent into refugee related hell superbly’ Paul Hardwick
