This would have to be the states first "MUST SEE" event for 2007.

Darlington Theatre Players current production is a credit to community theatre in Perth. The energy with which this production is performed would solve the global warming problem almost on it's own!

Director Peter Clark has taken his personal dream to mount this show and (with the help of several VERY talented cast members, an excellent live band and some of the best lighting seen in Perth for quite some time) not just made it into a reality, but has handed Perth audiences some of the best that theatre goers have ever enjoyed.

If I was in the business of handing out stars for reviews, this would certainly be four and a half out of five.

Terrific show, wonderful cast, DAMN good band, intuitive directing. Great job Guys! Loved it! 

For the love of it!

FIRST OF ALL.... JCS cast & crew.... congratulations on a brilliant production. It's one show where you feel overcome with all kinds of emotion. I had to turn away during the lashing as it came across slightly too real and upset me some. (And I'm sure I'm one of the most non-religious people in Perth.) Now, Roger-ed..... I'm slightly confused..... are you FOR or AGAINST community/amateur theatre? (Call it what you choose) Would you rather NOT have theatre groups in the community area to provide the local community with a production performed and produced by it's community members? And what difference does it make if we call it amateur or community? Seriously...? As long as people who want to perform in theatre get an opportunity to do so and as long as people who enjoy watching theatre get the opportunity to do so, what does it really matter. Roger-ed... and I honesetly don't mean this to sound nasty, but your comments sound like you have a few issues....? Apologise, if you don't, but you sound like a jilted ex-theatre lover. Like the post before you explained... theatre is meant to be fun. And I will glady admit that I'm gutless, because I don't want to sign my name. :)
