Whistle Down The Wind

Over the last few years, Tudor has been staging some first class shows and this one was no exception. The story tells the tale of ‘The Man’, an escaped convict who is found by a group of Children in a barn and they believe him to be Jesus Christ. The story tells us of his involvement with Swallow and the rest of the children and of the favour he asks of her. We also have the sub-plot of Candy, who cannot wait to leave the town with boyfriend Amos, but when Earl tells Candy about the meeting between Amos and Swallow, Candy tells everyone about the man in the barn. This was a production not to be missed. With minimum scenery Faye O’Leary used back projection to bring the production to life. All of the company worked well together and the society should be proud of this production. To mention separately all of the principals would be unfair as they all worked well but I must mention James Pugh as The Man and Chelsea Greathead as Swallow were outstanding as was Charlotte Gaunt as Candy. The chorus worked well as a team. I feel I must mention all of the children in the show, how they brought it to life. Their number ‘When Children Rule the World’ was just brilliant. I did feel sometimes that the orchestra was a little overbearing and the sound was a little distorted by that did not spoil the enjoyment of my evening. Costumes were good. The company danced well and that was all down to Paula Waldron. Tudor, you have another hit on your hands and I look forward to your future productions
