So this isn't your typical review, but for those of you who are not yet acquainted with the Upstart Theatre Co. fan page on facebook, I'd like to share with you some of the tremendous feedback we've been getting from audience members. "Just back from the show. We took our 11 year old son, who did the 'dagger speech' for his audition for John Curtin. He said it was 'really cool!', and approved of Macbeth's delivery of his speech - although he seemed to think that Macbeth had copied some of his moves. Our opinion? Really, really good. Young, energetic, ballsy. And the verse worked. I didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad that we went. Detailed review to come, maybe..." ~ Neale Paterson "Brilliant, well done to all the cast and crew, i really enjoyed the production. The show was filled with great energy, and there was a wonderful group dynamic and most of all the cast looked like they were enjoying themselves just as much as the Audience were. This show was pieced together with both dramatic and comedic characters,who were all a treat to watch, all of the actors showed strong talent, and the Direction was Awesome!" ~Jordan Gallagher "Outstanding performance by all the cast of Macbeth,well done!!" ~Geraldine Day-Perkins "Great show guys, such true talent by all on stage and the well oiled machine of crew backstage! A fantastic production! Look forward to seeing some more!!" ~Emma Cuthbert "Fantastic! One down (Caesar) and the next one to see yet (MacBeth). Can't wait! Thanks" ~Heather Anderson "This was such a brilliant production tonight!!!!! Cast and crew can be very very proud! I was absolutely impressed from start to finish with fantastic costumes, a marvelous set, a darned sexy Macbeth, thrilling fights and such a smooth running production! Seriously if you do not have plans and TICKETS to see this there is something wrong with you! Ah what a night! Congratulations once again to Upstart on a fantabulous show! Can't wait to see Julius soon!!!" ~Therese Cruise "The performance tonight of Julius Caesar was excellent" ~Rhiannon Tully And finally of course you can read a full length review of both shows here: http://www.bryncoldrick.com/intro_1.html I cannot thank enough those who have come down to support us.
