Note: This is only a taster and not a
full revue of the Cayman Drama Society's latest production “INTO
THE WOODS”. A full revue will follow after the weekend but I wanted
to quickly to URGE you to go and see it.

I was there with other members of the
press last Tuesday at the dress Rehearsal. I have already booked two
tickets to watch it at a full live production.

It is without a doubt the most
ambitious and difficult production in all the thirty-five plus years
of being involved and watching nearly everything the CDS have staged.
And that includes my “Peter Pan” with flying apparatus.

It simply is WONDERFUL. It is long, and
I joked with Musical Director and pianist (yes there really is a real
upright piano used and not a keyboard) plus six other accomplished
musicians, when he publicly said all Colin Wilson's play are two
hours long. This one beats any I have staged in length but it is so
good it doesn't show.

Every single actor is excellent and the
musical (by Sondheim) is written to give many of the performers a
“STAR” role.

I also have to mention the SUPERB
costumes. Headed up by Violetta Kanarek with support from Charity
Putman and Teri Quappe.

Teri is also co-director along with mum
Barrie (who also is one of the band). Both of them did all the
choreography and Teri, if all that wasn't enough, has one of the STAR
roles – The Witch (and Cinderella's mother).

Time does not permit me to say anymore
except:

YOU MUST GO “INTO THE WOODS”!!!!!!!
