gubblegum's Review of Centre Stage (...to the left a little)
9th Jun 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Starring (Main Performers)Not supplied
A really entertaining play which made me laugh out loud several times.
Maurice the wardrobe master was a particular favourite of mine as was Lydia played by Sally Lawton who co wrote the play.
Bad Points
Too many empty seats in the auditorium.
If you haven't seen it go and get a ticket quickly, if you have, tell your friends.
General Comments
Centre Stage (...to the left a little) a well written play performed by an excellent cast. I wasn't sure how a play written by two people would work and thought it might be a bit uneven jumping from one writer to the other and back, but it was seamless flowed really well and every scene was of the same high standard.
One or two moments of pathos balanced the comedy element extremely well and I really felt for Priscilla the anorexic dancer pushed into the theatre by a mother who couldn't even be bothered to come and see her [well that was how I saw her].
I will look out for more plays by these two promising young playwrights.

Hi there
I was just googling reviews of the show, My name is Toby and I played the role of Maurice. Glad you Liked My performance and enjoyed the show. It was a real pleasure to work with the writers Sally and Paul and the rest of the cast. I'm hopefully going to reprise the role later this year.
All the best
Toby
