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.
Well, thank you for your

Well, thank you for your apology. However "He jests at wounds that never felt pain." I never took the review badly, I honestly did laugh at it when I was told. You have to take the good with the bad, don't you? No harm done in the end.
The other production is just a school musical, it's nothing much. However I will take your advice and try to stick to the one thing at a time.
As I mentioned in the programme, I do want to be a drama teacher in later years, so I would like to continue with a career in drama. But nothing can be predicted, so we'll see where it goes. Maybe I will end up in a sewage treatment plant.
Thank you again for the apology, but no personal offence taken. I also thank you for your well-wishes and hope you will review me again someday, possibly in the near future.
