Tha audience were given a wonderful journey into Victorian London. the good, the bad, the affluent and the poor. The music is fantastic brought to us by an excellent MD, Mike Pinder leading a super orchestra. Once again this society has brought out the best in amateur theatre, so good were all the principals and equally good chorus. Playing the duel part of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was the talented Steve Benson.Alternating between the tormented Jekyll and the frightening Mr Hyde,. his acting and strong vocals were wonderful to watch. He was supported by Adrienne Wormald (Lucy) and Lindsay Farnworth (Emma) the two women in his life. The sweet girlfriend Emma and Lucy who must deal with the frightening Mr Hyde were both very good, both very different characters.Well done. David Wilson gave a good portayal of Dr Jekyll`s friend John Utterson. My congratulations to the director Nora for such a lavish production. Sets were well thought out scene changes quick and quiet.Well done to all those backstage,sound, lighting, just right. Costumes were beautiful. The audience were given a night to remember. Thank you for your kindness I look forward to your next production.
