Lilies on the Land
Shinfield Players Theatre, SPT
This production of ‘Sweet Charity’ was a true team effort which was received very well by me and an enthusiastic audience. The creative team looked to have the cast well-rehearsed. The set was functional if a little tacky which fitted in nicely with the slightly seedy world which we were in. ‘Charity’s Soliloquy’ was stylish and precise and the black and white ‘Rich Man’s Frug’ built beautifully, ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ was excellent and the whole scene in Vittorio’s bedroom was excellent as Charity’s personality came to the fore. The whole ‘fickle finger of fate’ business on the bed was superb, as was Vittorio’s rendition of ‘Too Many Tomorrows’.
