REVIEWS
“ … The other members of the cast are Philip Cox, David Freedman, Claire Walters and the always excellent Graham Hoadly as Mrs Partlett … “
Helen Jones: What’s On Stage 13 April 2011
“ … Graham Hoadly is splendidly grotesque as Mrs Partlett generating audience laughter without even moving.”
Dave Cunningham: The Public Reviews 13 April 2011
“ … There were several outstanding performances, not least from one of the company’s regulars, Philip Cox as Dr Daly the village vicar, and Graham Hoadly as Mrs Partlett (a pew opener with a large family chest), who owed more than touch of his character to Mrs Brown (for those familiar with the TV comedy starring Irish comedy actor Brendan O’Carroll).”
David Lockwood: Huddersfield Daily Examiner 9 April 2011
“ … The Sorcerer himself was Richard Gauntlett, and Mrs Partlett, mother of the rustic maiden Constance [nicely sung by Claire Watkins] was a hilarious Graham Hoadly.”
Michael Gray: Michael Gray’s Arts Blog 2 April 2011
“ … Graham Hoadly plays the redoubtable Mrs Partlett as a cross between ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ and Mrs Brown ([Brendan O’Caroll]’s inglorious Mrs Brown and Her Boys), providing many of the evening’s biggest laughs, avoiding out and out pantomime.”
Simon Cole: What’s On Stage 8 April 2011
“ … Mrs Partlett (Graham Hoadly), generally a rather non-part, benefits far more than one might imagine by being played in drag …”
Linda Kirkman: Scene One Review 8 April 2011
