And get it right they did, with not one slip up, and every word clear in chorus – no mean feat! As I watched the narrated scenes and sections, with lines that overlapped and interjected as well as were spoken in chorus, all I could think was 'I bet that took a lots of practise to get right!'. The other members of the cast, who played the narrators and also each took on additional smaller roles, are also to be congratulated. David Sanger and Alice Plein, as the girls' allies (James and Simon respectively) were both delightful as the helpful 'goodies' in the play (and Alice, like a number of others, has really beautiful voice - note for future musical productions!). Both gave energetic performances delivered with great pace. Gill Daly, as the evil Miss Slighcarp, and her side-kick Josiah Grimshaw, played by Joshua Bradley-Hall, were fantastic.
