Utterly absurd

Each part, however small, was excellently played and had us all laughing throughout.

All of the cast were great, but the two gangsters deserve a special mention for their humorous Chicago accents and comedic value.

The music was also very well performed – both together with the singers and in the richness of sound that came from such a small group.

With shows of such value on display at the Windmill, talk of it being closed for good seems utterly absurd. I have recently returned from living in Mombasa, Kenya, where I was part of a small arts & music group – we would have been incredibly grateful for a venue like the Windmill there.

It is a great shame that certain minds in this town believe that the performing arts should take second place to a quick buck made out of more apartment blocks. To them, and to any reader, I say go and support our local theatre at the Windmill – you’ll see the excellent talent and facilities that our small seaside town has to offer!
