Our Latest Reviews...
THE ADVENTURES OF MR TOAD ~ July 2007
"... another tightly choreographed ensemble piece in the trademark youtheatre style which boasts some fine acting ... Jack Speckleton is a crowd-pleasing rambunctious Mr Toad in a spirited performance reminiscent of Matt Lucas's recent star turn for the BBC as the bufoonish amphibian. Jack can happily hold the stage on his own ... The Adventures of Mr Toad should leave audiences feeling a warm glow ..."
JANE DELMER ~ Jersey Evening Post
HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES ~ July 2006
"Fast-paced and funny, the play is a homage to story-telling... a perfect vehicle for the youtheatre... The actors use buckets and bodies in ingenious ways to create boats, beds, buses, battles and buildings. The elements of the production that work best outdoors are the slapstick and physical clowning, a vibrant and hugely enjoyable blend of rhymes, whistles, cartwheels, mock-bad singing and dancing... In the words of one of the characters, as a piece of theatre it is 'SuperMarvelloso, Incredibable, and wholly Fantastick!'" JACQUELINE MEZEC ~ Jersey Evening Post
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE ~ April & September 2006
"...an enchanting performance... the choice of Mont Orgueil as the setting for an adaptation of C S Lewis's classic children's story is inspired. The battlements not only make a stunning backdrop... they also embody a medieval romanticism in keeping with the original novel. A tightly discplined, physical production, this is as fine an ensemble piece as we have come to expect from the youtheatre. The simple, stylised costumes, with every performer carrying a wooden staff, lend the production a suitable arcadian feel which only adds to its charm." JANE DELMER ~ Jersey Evening Post
THE LAST VOYAGE OF PHILIP DAUVERGNE ~ September 2005
"Quirky, hyper-kinetic and irreverent, this rollicking romp grabs attention and keeps it... the strength of the youtheatre is in their ensemble work achieved through dedication by everyone... With wordplay, football chants, Jersey humour, catchphrases, shrieks, shanties and rap, this eclectic, high-energy show takes many liberties. This is history filtered through our media-driven culture with a strong message about destiny, an entertaining concoction delivered with conviction and verve." JACQUELINE MEZEC ~ Jersey Evening Post
UNDER MILK WOOD ~ April 2005
"The youtheatre are fast developing a reputation for doing anything but the ordinary, and this production is no exception, with a group of mature, committed performers who prove they really are up for the challenge." LOUISE NIBBS ~ Jersey Evening Post
GILGAMESH ~ September 2004 & February 2005
"The cast were already present when the audience arrived, setting a scene of quiet intensity in which the touch of a hand or the brush of one body against another was enough to make the condensed space between one and the other crackle with tension... impressive and mature... powerful and mesmeric... This is a stunning production of a stirring story and deserves the widest audience."
