MURDER MYSTERY MEALS - Performance 25/6/11 Had this in from Saturday's client........ Dear Steve, I just wanted to drop you a line and say how very pleased I was with the Murder Mystery Dinner last Saturday aboard " The Jealous Bride". All my friends and I had a really superb evening and the actors were excellent and very welcoming. They really pushed the boat out (if you pardon the pun) to ensure that the evening was a roaring success. Unfortunately we were one guest down on the evening (my daughter "Maria Slapperallover" hadn't recovered from her operation in time to travel to Derby) but the actors covered her part well. I will certainly be spreading the word as will my friends. None of us really knew what to expect but our place of work is still humming with chatter of the evening and we are still getting shrieks of laughter from the experience. Many many thanks for an absolutely fantastic event. Laura White
MURDER MYSTERY MEALS - Performance 9/10/10 Mason I've had this in from the client. Well done and thank you! Hi Steve Blue Remembered
hills ReviewBlue Remembered Hills Folk taking a stroll in Abbeyfield Park during the second week of May may have witnessed the strange sight of adults running around in shorts and pinafores shouting, fighting, throwing stones and generally behaving like a bunch of seven-year olds – their excuse was that they were performing Blue Remembered Hills by Dennis Potter. Set in the summer of 1943, the plot follows the experiences of a group of children over the course of an afternoon. Directed by Daniel Poyser and Ian Smith (both involved in last October’s successful production of Oedipus at St Catherine’s Hall), the production moved around the park, building to the horrific climax in Abbeyfield Stables. The strong performances (particularly by Craig Shepherd as Peter and Mason Tyree as Donald Duck) soon had the audience forgetting the drizzle and engrossed in the plot; by turns hilarious, upsetting and shocking. All the actors threw themselves into this very physical, at times almost slapstick, performance and were utterly believable as children. Panni Poh Yoke Loh (production co-ordinator) said: “It’s been a great experience to see creative theatre in the Park. I hope we can see more of it in the future as part of the Abbeyfield Stables Project.” If productions are of this quality, we can only hope that she’s right.

Mason as Donald Duck in 'Blue Remembered Hills' the amazing play by Dennis Potter. "It was the intensity of the bullying that Donald suffers which first attracted me to this part. It mirrored my own life quite closely - intense bullying, absent father. Had I not been able to do this then I wouldn't be able to do anything. It was such an honour to play him, especially alongside several close friends who all did marvellous jobs. My thanks especially to Ian Smith for his support and direction in this play."
"Carol is a wonderful radio play that deserves a larger audience. Local playwrights like Mick deserve all the encouragement we can give them, especially when they're so talented. Sheffield Live produce marvellous work in the community with very little support, so it was an honour to work with them on this incredible play."
