I really enjoyed the show and thought the performances of Kieron Davies, Alex Harris, Jennifer Hammill and Simon Spencer were excellent, I also thought it was very funny when Kieron and Simon 'got drunk' for dutch courage to face Jennifer.

Another performance I liked was that of Bill Cronshaw first as one of the ancestors, and then very quickly as the policeman.

The only down side of the show was that I thought the orchestra at times seemed out of tune.

Once again I really enjoyed the show and look forward to next years production.
