Jack's Children - Richard Williams

18th-21st April

Hexagon Theatre, mac

"The Edgbaston-based youth theatre gave its customary splendid account of itself presenting the premiere of Richard Williams' sequel to 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. But it was Paul Brotherton as a sort of unhinged cross between Anne Robinson and the Milky Bar Kid, who stole the show. There was a genuinely funny, po-faced incarnation of a nutty professor, demonstrating a talent for comedy that is clearly going to stand him in splendid stead for years to come. He sent me home rejoicing, I am sure his will be a name to conjure with." Evening Mail
