Verwood Amateur Dramatic Society Memorial Hall Verwood March 2003
It was good to see so many young people involved in the production, and they certainly came into their own in
Babysitting Calvin, in which ten month old Calvin, played by an adult, proves to be the reincarnation of his babysitter’s deceased husband. When she arrives with a man in tow there is no limit to what Calvin’s jealousy causes him to do, creating a visually comic scenario. Although this play was very amusing, one or two of the cast fell into the trap of speaking too quickly and it was sometimes difficult to hear what was being said.
An inability to hear clearly also caused a problem in Everlasting Flowers, but this was intentional and central to the story, which was well performed by the seven-strong cast with just the right edge of menace. An actress, Melita, wants to stay young forever and has heard it may be possible if she visits a lonely country house where a stranger is expected – but when a thunderstorm drowns out her words the outcome is definitely not what she had in mind.Linda Kirkman Courtesy of the Bournemouth Daily Echo.
