Congratulations 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.

Hi Scott, When I did the review I was in a foul mood at the time. I should not have made a personal attack on yourself but only criticize your acting. Therefore, I must offer my sincerest apologies to you. What I did was completely unfair and I am really sorry for those hurtful and disgraceful comments that I made. I didnt realise that you were in other productions at the same time. Perhaps as a kind suggestion to you, maybe concentrate on one thing at time and make that one particular performance really special. It also must be said at the same time, that you must be really keen to have a career in drama if you are going into all these productions. One of the keys to success is persistance and appears that you have a lot of persistance. No doubt in time you WILL be a success! I therefore wish your every success in the HSC and hope you get into the drama course that you want to get into. One other thing, on a positive note, maybe this review may have helped boost your publicity a bit in your local area. Im sure the next production that you do, everyone will want to come along and see Scott Hammerton perform! Cheers Ebayer
