What the crits said about our 2008/9 Season
/As well as our own shows, we also hire out sets, costumes, props and special effects. Here are some of the feedback that the crits gave...
29th December 2008 - Our script, costumes, set and props for Beauty and the Beast are at the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury. Here's what the Stage had to say:
“Iain Lauchlan and Will Brenton have written an excellent show which is bursting with action and the kind of high octane energy”
Have a great end of run to all our friends at the Roses xx
15th December 2008 - One of our Animatronic Giants is at the Darlington Civic, with QDOS. Here's what the Stage said about the Giant:
“In an effective piece of staging, Giant Blunderbore is spectacularly massive and loudly ferocious.”
Have a great season to all our friends at Darlington and in the QDOS scenic hire team xx
15th December 2008 - One of our flying coaches has been hired by the Hall for Cornwall, Truro. Here's what The Stage said about our Flying Coach:
“....touch brilliance when a magnificent horse and carriage soars Cinders upwards to the stars”
iccornwall.co.uk also commeted on our Flying Coach:
“... and the production may have pulled its best trick out of the hat just in time; the attention of the audience’s under-fives appeared to be just starting on the wane when her winged guardian swapped Cinderella’s pumpkin for her fantastical horse and carriage livery to the Prince’s ball. Splendidly lit up and shining, it actually appeared to take to the air under the power of a life-size and very realistic mechanical horse, which was worth paying the ticket price to see on its own.”
Have a great run to all our friends at the Hall for Cornwall! xxx
15th December 2008 - Another one of our flying coaches has been hired by the Towngate Theatre, Basildon. Here's what the Stage said about the coach::
“The excellent transformation features Wish Theatre’s flying horse and coach.”
Our very best wishes to producer Ralph Dartford and all the cast and crew of the Towngate Theatre for a successful run! xxx
8th December 2008 - Some of our costumes and smallest Giant are down at the Connaught Theatre, Worthing. Here's what the Stage said about the Giant
“The giant makes his impressive appearance being almost the height of the stage”
Have a great run to all at the Connaught, and who are working for PPC! xxx
1st December 2008 - One of our BIG Giants, set and UV beanstalk are at Jack and the Beanstalk at the Courtyard Theatre, Hereford. Here's what the crits at the Stage had to say:
“A theatrical and technical tour de force - even the Fownhope Brownies were thunderstruck.”
... and about our Beanstalk and set:
“Stunning special effects and sets are enhanced by a magnificent beanstalk, the growth rate of which Alistair Darling could only dream about, and some mesmeric ultra-violet visuals”
The overall review of the show is also brill - have a great run to all at the Courtyard - from the crit, it sounds like you have a great panto on your hands!! xxx
