Wow. I saw Lords and Ladies by Arena last week and I thought it was really great. I was lucky to get in as it had been booked out a few times and was glad that I waited for a cancellation. The whole thing was very well put together from the costumes to the cool makeup to the music and all the scenery. The lady playing Nanny Ogg rocks and so does the dipsy blonde who was Magrat. Loved Death. It must have taken heaps of very hard work from the director and everyone else to pull off such a big show with such style and success. Everyone I know who saw the show thought it was great too. What other stuff does Arena do? I want to see more shows from these guys. They're brilliant.

I have seen eleven Terry Pratchett productions both here in Perth and in Melbourne and Sydney and I must say without a doubt that the Arena Arts and Entertainment performance was by far the best. I came with a friend who has resisted becoming a Terry Pratchett fan but after seeing this excellent show she has now asked to borrow some of my books,so well done in converting another to the cause. I felt your show very much captured the spirit of Mr Prathcett's works and that many of yur cast were very good, particularly Michael Lamond, Judith Maitland, Brooke Silcox, Andrew Milne, Francesca Philips and the poor elf that got draggedaround everywhere. Your costume and makeup people should get a lot of praise as well. And the person who wrote up the program as it was very amusing. Once again, my congratulations to all concerned. We certainly need more shows of this very high quality.
