THE KING AND I

5 Towns I feel are a fast growing society which seem to improve year on year. This years production was of a very good standard with some very fine principals. Mark Taylor (The King) was very impressive I have seen him perform this role twice before  and I think he just gets better each time. His partnership with Anna (Samantha Hayward) worked very well she sang very well and gave a fine studied performance as the slightly stately governess. Sophie Golby (Tuptim) gave a fine performance as she told the story of The Small House of Uncle Thomas and she coped quite well with the very difficult song My Lord and Master. Harrison Hartley was a very fine Louis with excellent diction and sang very well, as did Nicholas Wray (Prince Chulalongkorn) he got his acting just right as he gained knowledge from Anna. All the other small parts were well cast. The sets were again outstanding both in design and construction and worked very well. The good sound, costumes and orchestra gave us all a fine night's enjoyment.
