The Sorcerer 2011 - Daily Echo Review
- Details
A Winning Production!
IN this early Gilbert & Sullivan work actor/director David Tatnall once again delivers a winning production, in which Mark Ponsford (Rev Dr Daly) deserves an early credit for his hilarious performance in this tale of love potions leading to unexpected couplings. Running him close was Annie Tatnall, vocal clarity itself in her role as Aline Sangazure, and David Putley as Alexis Pointdexter, whose love for her is unrequited.
Pointdexter enlists the help of ‘cheeky-chappie’ J Wellington- Wells (Shaun Dodimead), who prescribes a potion that makes people fall in love with the first person they see when they awake, (think Midsummer Night’s Dream on a grander scale). The results had the capacity audience rolling with laughter, with Vicky Wilson (excellent as demureturned- predatory Lady Sangazure), Katherine Evans (Constance) and Anne Croudass (Mrs Partlet) all worthy of mention.
