'That glorious band of amateurs'

That's us!

 

Too tired to write today, so here's what others say:


'A wonderfully well-drilled group of community players... the production shimmers with life. (The Stage)


The use of the crowd - all ages, dressed in everyday mid 20th-century clothes - is breathtaking... both do splendidly (Ferdy and Graham) yet the real stars are that glorious band of amateurs.' (The Telegraph)

 

To see so many actors of all ages and conditions, strolling, surging and streaming over the playing space is amazing...The mass images remain vivid in the memory: the heavenly host as whirling dervishes, Noah's Ark sailing through a sea of umbrellas... (Observer)

Remember this anyone?
