REVIEWS

" … Graham Hoadly played the mean but bumbling Squire Spartacus Skinflint II brilliantly … "

Alison McCluncky: Rugby Observer

" … a packed young audience clearly love every minute of it, providing the best moment of the night when they showed their hatred for the misely Squire Spartacus Skinflint II (Graham Hoadly) and his evil henchman Hercules Cruncher (Alister Cameron), by refusing to pass them their stolen golden eggs from the auditorium. The conniving pair looked nonplussed as the army of youngsters attempted to pass the eggs along several rows for safety, in what looked like becoming one of the longest scenes in the show …"

Alison Handley: Evening Telegraph

" … WANTED - dead or alive. The Poachers who stole the Golden Egg. At the press night of Mother Goose … the audience participation went further than it should! During the show, Squire Spartacus Skinflint II and his Horrible Henchman, Hercules Cruncher, played by GRAHAM HOADLY and ALISTER CAMERON, were Mugged by the younger audience. They were moving down the aisle, when they were set upon by the children determined to Rescue the Golden Eggs. Unfortunately, they were also determined to keep them, and one of them is STILL missing! … ANY MORE POACHERS will be thrown into the SECRET SWAMP! …"
