THE SOUND OF MUSIC

This was a very well organised production with good portrayals by all the main principals.Samantha Hayward was a most suitable choice for the role of Maria singing and acting with a very nice easy confident style. Valerie Millward was very impressive as the Mother Abbess with a lovely sympathetic understanding of the part and of course superb singing and she was well supported by Sister Berthe (Joanne Burgess) Sister Margaretta (Margaret Phelps) and Sister Sophia (Carole Sadler). David Rosamund managed the difficult role of Captain Georg von Trapp, turning from the stern to the very likeable loving husband and father, very well indeed with perhaps a little problem vocal songwise. David Hartill gave us a super performance as Max Detweiler a role he knows and plays so well. The children were outstanding, their singing and dancing was a great tribute to the rehearsing they must have done. Perhaps a final word of praise for the set design,construction and decoration it was simply outstanding and very well organised, it gave great flow to the production.
