Oliver- Highland Theatre Group
Sun, 9 Apr 2006, 03:40 pmCongratulations to all the crew and cast of the Highland Theatre Group for putting on a wonderful performance of "Oliver".
The show went for 10 performances and delighted the whole Southern Highlands Community of NSW.
The acting by the main principals, with the exception of "Noah Claypole" was extraordinarily good. The main principals voices were loud and clear. However, nothing is perfect as the young juvenile who played "Noah Claypole" appeared confused on stage and his acting was really substandard even for an amateur. During the performance that I attended, I noticed the audience were straining to listen to hear what he was saying. After the performance, I also found out that the other people on stage at the time had been complaining about his "odour". Apparently it was so bad, that he really was a OH&S Issue. Maybe next time this juvenile should consider others and shower before he goes on stage! It might be suggested that this juvenile does not consider a career in drama as he would be more suited to seek a career with a sewerage treatment works!
Besides the above small negative, it was a really great show and I look forward to the next production by the Highlands Theatre Group.

If indeed you are a trained psychologist, the least you could do for your profession is spell it correctly.
Let's not mention the rest of the post.
I for one am disturbed that you are (apparently) a trained university-qualified professional with only a passing relationship with grammar, spelling, syntax...
and pretty much your field of expertise... Did you get your training at a uni, or from the spiritual section of your local library?
Perhaps our education system is a messed up as everyone keeps saying, or perhaps the Scientologists are right and psychologists are silly! :-)
Ebayer simply demonstrated the 'joy' of the internet- you write something silly when you're in a mood, and there it is for all to see for all eternity. Well done for apologising!
Regardless, it also appears the 'scarred' individual seems to be completely fine with the post. Amused even!
and Mr Hammerton, if you can maintain that healthy attitude towards criticism and reviews, you will indeed have one of the best tools for succeeding in this industry.
(and note- the lack of projection in your voice was the one useful thing in the initial review. Perhaps something useful to take on in future shows?)
