Dick Whittington NODA Review

30 January 2012 | Reviews

by Rita Carpenter Front of House & Programme As always we received a warm welcome and shown to our seats which were well placed, except that they were in line with the door and during the interval when the door was kept open it was very cold and our feet froze but this may have been because it was a very cold day. Some of the chorus were used front of house showing people to their seats, selling raffle tickets and refreshments in their costumes which was a nice touch preparing the audience for the performance. The programme was...

Oh What a Lovely War Review

31 October 2011 | Reviews

by Rita Carpenter INTRODUCTION We received a warm welcome and were given excellent seats. I was able to have a chat with the director before the show started.

There was only a small reference to Noda and no logo which was a pity because this is the sort of programme that could have been entered in the Poster and Programme competition. The data in the programme of the main events of the war was superb and...

I know it was hard work – rushed and trying at times ; but everyone pulled together...
