Venue: Four Oaks Farm (23 Downing Rd, Littlehampton) Dates: 7-10 January 2016 This was a brilliant production. Excellent audio, music, singing and acting. http://www.emmaknights.com/productions/ http://www.adelaidehillsmagazine.com.... Andrew Crispe with his great voice and leading man charisma as Curly Rebecca Raymond is strong as Laurey Excellent musical direction of Mark DeLaine Wendy Rayner,, absolutely sparkles as Aunt Eller Charles Smith and Alana Shepherdson are delightful as quirky on again/off again couple Will Parker and Ado Annie, aided and abetted hilariously by Andrew Turner giving his best ever ‘Boris the Meerkat’ impression as Persian peddler, Ali Hakim; as slow loner Jud Fry. Michael Bates brings a humanity rarely seen in the portrayal of this character and his solo, My Room, is an eerie show-stopper. Verity Colyer (got to love that laugh), James McCluskey-Garcia, Angus Smith, Josh Barkley, Melanie Smith and Serena Martino all expertly complete the fine cast.
