Snow White

This version of a well known story was well performed by this group of talented young people. Written by Adam Swift and Joe Logan this panto had everything. Fun, laughter, good acting and some great music.

Taking the lead role of Snow White was Emily Ewins, who excelled herself with fine acting and singing. Georgia Taylor played Queen Lucretia, who played this evil role well. Cameron Simpson as the Queens sidekick Fleshcreap was in a role which suited him well, and, had a nice twist at the end of the production when his true identity was revealed. Maddison Clarke played Sidekick Sally, the right hand women to the Prince. She gave us a wonderful rendition of the song 'How Will I know', and she deserves all the applause that she received. Playing the comedy roles were Sam Cox as The Prince and Joe Logan as Muddles. It was good to see these two working together again. Besides playing these two roles they were also transformed into the two Dames of the show. Well done to the writers for thinking of this. 

This panto had, of course, seven dwarfs, but they were given original names. Really enjoyed Trumpy and Weepy. Every time Weepy cried the audience got wet courtesy of a water cannon shot into the audience. That went down well. Congratulations to the seven young people who played these roles. I do have to mention Dylan Jack O'Dwyer who played Gok. Great actor.

Directors and writers Adam Swift and Joe Logan did a good job with the cast and with good musical arrangements by Chris Corcoran nothing could go wrong. My one criticism of the show was the sound let them down slightly at the commencement of the show, but nothing which the company did not overcome. 

Young people are the future of NODA and of amateur theatre as a whole and with this the talent in this company the future is in safe hands.
