NODA Review
Thank you so much for inviting us
to see another version of Macbeth. You really will have to do the
original now!!! Thank you for your hospitality. As always you made
us feel very welcome.
“The Scottish Play” is so well
written with great opportunities for making the audience laugh
provided the timing was right. In this case the direction was
superb and the performers all got their punch lines timed to
perfection. I always feel that pauses are a vital part of a
production but so often amateur performers are afraid of them. They
add so much atmosphere to a story line and The Regis Players made
the most of them.
I was highly impressed with the
simple stage set and the slick way in which the scenes were
changed. I feel I must congratulate the back stage crew on an
excellent job and the lighting team and the sound team for such an
exceptional effort. They were all kept very busy but all credit to
your cast. Sandy, in her role as prompt, seemed redundant.
Peter as Michael was superb from
start to finish. He must have lived that part from morn to night to
have mastered all that dialogue. Not only that, he became Michael
with all his single mindedness and dedication. It really was an
exceptional performance. Deborah, Liz and Matthew also stood out in
their various roles and all the other members of the cast gave good
supporting performances making this a play that I will remember for
a long time.
