Lilies on the Land
Shinfield Players Theatre, SPT
Direction displayed a good understanding of the source material. Good blocking for the caucus race and the croquet game. Puppetry, notably the flamingos and Humpty Dumpty, worked well. Good use of transformation gauze for the Cheshire Cat and a very impressive caterpillar. Alice’s changes of size during the first act were amusingly portrayed and the fall down the rabbit hole was most effective in its simplicity. A strong performance from an Alice who captured the impetuosity of the character well.
