Reviews

Prescription For Murder

 THIS was my second time of seeing The Broadstone Players and I must say  what a professional image the group gives, especially with their Front of House Team.

Peter Pan The Musical

ONE of the biggest compliments I can pay this production is to say that had I walked in off the street to see it, never having heard of Swish, I could easily have believed that I was watching a fully professional touring production. It was spectacular in every way, from the fantastic set and costumes to the excellent sound system and lighting, superb programme and fine orchestra – plus, of course, outstanding performances, thanks to the production team of Tina Smith (director), Lee Marchant (musical director) and Emily Cardno (choreographer).

When We Are Married

THIS production is in safe hands – the hands of master-playwright JB Priestley and of veteran director Sonia Collyer. Sonia has been involved with the New Forest Players for more than half a century and directed the same play almost 25 years ago. Her sure touch is just one of the assets that contributes to this excellent production.

Bill Oddie Unplucked At Regent Centre

Submitted by linda on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 16:27

TV’s favourite wildlife man, Bill Oddie, comes to the Regent Centre on April 26th at 7.30pm with his producer, Stephen Moss. Fifteen years ago, Bill Oddie and Stephen Moss had arrived at the same place- on the banks of a reservoir in North London. It was during this brief encounter that they realized they had something else in common. They were both life long birders who were wondering if they could turn their hobbies into jobs. They both worked in TV –which was a good start. Stephen was a producer of documentary and educational programmes (very useful), whilst Bill was a “Goody” (no use at all!).
