Snow White and the seven Dwarfs

~~The Trinity Players” Pantomime “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was a very enjoyable family pantomime written by Peter Denyer with something for everyone to enjoy. The cast appeared to throw themselves into the whole experience producing enjoyable performances and entertaining characters. Emily Priestley made a lovely Snow White singing and acting very nicely, an example of her singing talents was shown in her rendition of a “A Women’s Touch “from the film Calamity Jane. Sarah Grady also acted very well with just the right level of malevolence in her voice as the wicked Queen Morgiana, there were plenty of boos from the audience when she came on the stage. Maisie Picton was a pleasing Prince Lorenzo and sang nicely with Emily in their duet and Emma Guenther gave a graceful performance as Fairy Good Heart. David Grady and Chris Parker as Muddles and Juggles demonstrated some good comic timing and made a good comedy duo who had a very good rapport with the audience, and Chris Mangham was entertaining as the white suited Mirror. I would like to mention everyone else in the cast but there was quite a large number in this production and I would not like to miss anyone out, however all the cast worked hard supporting each other well, producing some worthy performances with nice characterizations and no weak links. An entertaining highlight was the seven dwarfs who worked very well together and were amusing. The chorus of adults and children supported the principal cast very well and performed with lots of enthusiasm. Choreography was just right for the production and venue and some of the songs were accompanied by live music with Walter Ashcroft on the piano and Katrina Peet on the violin who both played well. Diction and clarity of words was more than satisfactory meaning the story could be followed easily and generally there was good comic timing from everyone.
Scenery and props along with good sound and lighting were suitable for the venue and fitted the needs of the pantomime well, costumes were bright and colourful enhancing the production and performances.

The success of any pantomime can be measured by the reaction of the audience and this production appeared to be enjoyed by the audience very much.
Congratulations to the production team of Ruth Parker, Emily Priestley and Sarah Grady for bringing to the stage a lovely entertaining inclusive family pantomime and well done to everyone involved in this production including front of house and the backstage crew. I am really looking forward to being invited to your next production.
