Saughtonhall Drama Club’s Ladies’ Day has warm humour, the odd spiky line and a finely put together production.
Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
★★★★☆ Beautiful timing:
There is genuine warmth in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Hatches, Matches and Dispatches, adding to a real drive and considerable understanding of comedy.
Ne’er the Twain
★★★★☆ Funny:
Bold, fast-paced and verging on the hysterical at times, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Ne’er The Twain is a tremendously enjoyable production.
A Murder Is Announced
★★★☆☆ Pleasing:
Thoughtful and well staged, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced is a solid evening’s entertainment.
Cheshire Cats
★★★★★ Great Big Grins:
Life-affirming and hugely funny, Cheshire Cats at Saughtonhall United Reformed Church is a rare treat indeed.
Suddenly at Home – Review
✭✭✭✩✩ Subtle thrills
There are some excellent performances and a great deal to applaud in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s production of Francis Durbridge’s thriller Suddenly At Home; even if the end result is enjoyable rather than truly gripping, it still makes for a highly pleasurable evening.
