It's My Party
Wed, 3 May 2000, 08:54 amJust a quick note to Anne and the cast and crew of It's My Party. I saw this production on Friday night and it was well worth the effort. Solid performances all round, especially the young chap who played Ted ( sorry can't remember name) who stole the show for me. The production had a certain precision that highlighted the ensemble work between the Cast, Crew and Director. Well Done! I hope you all have a fantastic season.

I saw "I'ts My Party" last night at KADS and I have never laughed so much. I can recommend the play to everyone.
Normally getting tickets for a KADS play is very difficult due to the small venue and the high standard of productions. However a bulk booking for next Wenesday (May 10) has been cancelled and there are 60 seats available. For bookings contact Nightingales Pharmacy on 9293 2621

RE: It's My Party
I must concur with Indi...I saw this play tonight and had an absolute blast!!
Everyone looked as though they were having fun and the script, whilst not the strongest I've ever come across, was handled with panache and heart by the entire cast.
Stand out performances for me were indeed Ben and also Lucy Eyre who very rarely fails to impress me. She was 'in the moment' the whole time and anytime I looked at her she was playing honestly and directly. Peter Fry was, as usual, excellent in a role that could have been written for him and I thought he was superbly supported by the entire cast.
The set was effectively 'suburban' and well built. The lighting was even and workable. Sound was similarly so. Blocking in general was good, though there were a few spots where the steps could have been used to greater effect and unnatural lines began to form on rare occasions. Textually however, there was a lovely consistency of meaning and action and well suited to the size of the house - not overblown or underdone but *just right*.
As a side note: Judging by the talent on show by the youngest members of this cast, Ben, Lucy and the lovely blonde girl who played the younger sister (sorry, once again, I didn't grab a programme), KADS, it seems, will continue to play a major role in nurturing some of the brightest young talents who will probably enter the profession at some stage down the track. KADS track record in this regard is astonishing...the likes of Jenny McCann (nee Howard), Indira MacDonald, David Gardette, Paul Tolton, Jodie Cant...where will it end...need I go on...
Anyway, congratulations to all involved for a truly entertaining evening at the theatre.
