I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Far From the Madding Crowd last night - a very appealing choice of classic, a wonderfully clever adaptation, an excellent and inspired production, brilliant and versatile performances from every single member of the cast. Congratulations to all involved.

Our Mutual Friend, based on Dickens’ novel at Baron’s Court Theatre with a young cast... six actors played (multiple) characters in a clearly told, exciting story of love, murder, intrigue, and, being a Dickens story, class difference. It reminded me of the Nicholas Nickleby of years ago in London.

What a wonderful performance by Myriad Theatre Productions of Wuthering Heights in Thame last week. I had a delightful evening and in particular I found: the adaptation was clever and engaging, the energy, power and passion was riveting throughout the entire performance (there was pin drop silence in the audience for almost the entire performance), every member of the cast was highly professional and captivating in their role. Thanks for doing such a fantastic job!

A great performance by the whole cast with an unusual twist in the tale. In the Barons Court Theatre you sit so close to the actors that you feel part of the play, which makes it even more absorbing. James Kingdon's portrayal of Dom Claude de Frollo is as evil as Joanna O'Connor's portrayal of Esmeralda is sexy! This production contains all the essentials for great entertainment, intrigue, humour, action and seduction.

A very clever adaptation of quite a tricky book, and dramatised to a perfect length. "Tess" didn't waste a second: it was all there - even the 'impossible' scenes like crossing the river and being thrown around in a pony and trap! And, as always, I loved the dancing. Joanna O’Connor’s performance was remarkable. Tess can be one of the most unbelievable characters in all of literature but she made her live and breathe before our eyes. James Kingdon was at his amazing best. I lost count of how many parts he played but every single one was completely different (where did he get all those voices?). A personal tour de force, I think. Ediz Fehmi (Angel) gave a beautiful, still performance. Very impressive. My compliments to the rest of the cast, particularly for the much-needed comedy they brought to the play. It's not often we hear a Barons Court audience laughing like that. All in all, a perfect production.

James Baker has directed a first class show with obvious immense respect for Hardy’s intentions. This is no drippy Tess, but someone who fights and fights for the people she loves but is ultimately overwhelmed by fate and the evil that individual people do to her. I felt weirdly responsible and involved in her tragedy. ….. Congratulations to cast and crew on an immense achievement!

A very enjoyable and beautiful show. Full of pathos and romance, really heartbreaking to watch. Joanna O’Connor was perfect as Tess and was well backed up by James Kingdon, Emma Kedge and Amelia Clay in multiple roles. Tess and Ediz Fehmi as Angel had such a sweet, intense chemistry. I really hated Angel and then felt so sorry for him as he’d lost everything by the end and could never get it back. Essential theatre.

We loved A Christmas Carol at Ingatestone Hall. Very atmospheric..Never seen quite such a `dramatic' interpretation of Scrooge...really pretty scary. His quite violent abhorrence of the world was leagues away from the usual grumpy misanthropic version we get. Won't forget it in a hurry.

Crime and Punishment was certainly a tour de force…..an emotional experience of the first magnitude. Judging by the faces of other members of the audience when we were there, they, like us, felt deeply involved in all that was taking place on the stage - while thanking their lucky stars they didn't live in 19th century Russia. The cast was superb. Magnifique, nothing less.

The audience loved it and sat with smiles on their faces throughout the whole production. It was a most professional, energetic and very clever production. With most of the cast playing at least three parts it was a challenge that would daunt many groups, but not these young people. With simple costume and wig changes they rose to the challenge and changed their character as quickly as they changed their clothes. Very convincing. A truly delightful evening.

The calibre of the multi-faceted cast was superb and they brought new humour and sparkle to Jane Austen’s legendary tale. “It’s so good I don’t want to it end!” the woman next to me whispered during the second act. And I had to agree with her. A male friend of mine said he’d rather chew off his own leg than endure anything Austen-related, but this play had been flawlessly adapted for the stage and afterwards even he admitted that he had been highly entertained. So book your tickets and support this talented new production company! You can’t go wrong!

It was well worth a trip (and expense!) to London. I thought the play was wonderful and the actors so very talented. It was such a clever performance, too, making such brilliant use of the minimum props. The acting itself was excellent and it was hard to believe, sometimes, that there were only 5 of them, so versatile were they. I had a good chortle, too, and was so very sorry when the evening ended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this production of Pride and Prejudice. Superb, prodigiously versatile acting together with clear costumes and props enabled the audience to identify the characters instantly. Joanna O'Connor's adaptation for five players of Jane Austen's novel is a masterpiece. The script seamlessly conveyed all necessary information without compromising natural conversation and humour one iota. Ingatestone Hall was a perfect setting for this thoroughly professional production but I hope Myriad will spread their impressive talents into Buckinghamshire. I look forward to many more of their performances.

Very enjoyable production. My wife and I were a little worried as it became apparent that just 5 actors would cover all roles, but in the end they carried it off with ease - aided by numerous wig & costume changes! The essential humour of Austen's work came through well & the cast appeared to enjoy what they were doing, which helped create a good humoured atmosphere in the theatre. Recommended as a good night out & certainly one that is guaranteed to bring in brownie points if you take the wife / girlfriend / mistress along.
