SOURCERY
Sat, 11 Nov 2000, 11:20 amOk let me first of all say that I am not exactly fond of Terry Pratchett so I was Biased against it when I arrived,
Boy was I surprised !
Well done Daniel Sloane and cast, you guys won me over.
Dan you have done an excellent job with an enormouse cast and what must have been a logistical nightmare.
Ok as usual I am going to say that although I dont want to single anyone out, I am going to anyway.
Nick was good and consistent, as one would expect. Melissa varied from lovely to gorgeous as the play progressed, I wish that she was a little louder though (I told her this last night).
Paul Treasure was magnificent, as was the young man who plays the sourcerer. I wish that I knew more names but here we go anyway. The warrior guy was pretty good also. In fact reasonably solid performances from all of the cast. Apparently there were 19 people with some taking multiple roles.
Minimal set (as you will appreciate from the huge number of scenes), good use of sound and light.
So anyway I was surprised to find myself sympathetic to to the production, characters and plot.
I would encourage everyone to be louder (except Paul) and to possibly slow down on the delivery sometimes.
Overall it was most enjoyable, You really should go and take the kids along. It is a funny engaging play that has some bloody awful puns.
Suspend your disbelief and do yourself a favour, bear in mind the logistics and you will be amazed at what Daniel and Crew have/are doing.
The only criticisms that I have to offer are as follows.
Most of the cast could help the audience by enunciating more clearly and louder. Everyone listen to Paul Treasure and benefit from his example.
A few light and sound clues seemed to be a little late/loud, but these things happen.
Go and see it, take the kids they will have a ball.
(The usual unmarked bills in a brown envelope Melissa - tks regards Gary)

Sheesh !!!
And let me tell you Angela was very special also.
Spectacular !!!! almost comes close.
So, if you want to see spectacular young beauties (of both sexes) and stunning leading ladies and gentlemen, as well as finely honed senses of timing go and see this play !
My good friend Barry took his lovely daughter Amelia over the weekend to see this production, and apparently they both enjoyed it enormously.
In fact Amelia liked it so much that she asked Tim (Edwards) if she could borrow his copy (unsigned by the author) to read.
Tim said yes, so there you go.
Another unsolicited addendum to my review.
Still unbiased in spite of having stunningly lovely girls throw themselves at my virtual feet. 8)
