NODA REVIEW
What can I say about this superb production by Wyn Tootell?
The six ladies were brilliant - their accents never
faltered and every ounce of humour and pathos was extracted
from the script Siobhan Edge's Truvy was so funny and her
little asides were perfectly times. Renee Clitheroe and Lit
Ritson, as mother and daughter, were teamed so well and we
were given superb insight into their relationship. Caty
Cross as Clairee Belcher was an excellent, wealthy,
middle-aged, southern American. Brenda Bartlett was good as
Annelle, the trainee hairdresser and Oiser (Wyn Tootell)
could have been made for the part. Not an easy job to
perform and direct but with such talent she couldn't miss.
My congratulations to all.
