“I thought The Terrible Infants was incredible. The witty use of props was very intriguing and the well rehearsed performance had the audience captivated and touched by ”Thingummyboy’. It was an unusual performance, greatly enhanced by the bizarre costumes and extraordinary musicians. It was the best choice for the last MFT of the year.”

“I really enjoyed The Three Musketeers. Although at first I was a little worried as to how three musketeers were going to be played by two women, it worked really well and I think that if there had been more actors, it would have ruined the humour. The way that the actresses sometimes forgot they were the only two on stage was very funny. They would call on another character when there was no one to play them. They also fought over who was going to be the main character. My Lady in the blue cape was one of my favourite characters because she acted so over the top. Her voice was very good and her face expressions were also really funny. The Cardinal was great and I thought that the costume was very clever. A man from the audence was taken onto the stage to play the part of the Queen of France and was very funny, standing in a frame and pretending to be a painting and then going to the ball. Both were fabulous actors and I would definitely recommend this play to others, both old and young.”

“I thought the MFT was actually very good. I really enjoyed it. At some points in the performance it was a little bit scary and frightening. For instance when they put together a cage with the trolleys, they looked like zombies! They really could hold quite difficult positions and for such a long time! In mid-air, they were suspended in space and time! I personally could never do anything of the sort! The way they could just jump off the stand and be caught by the other dancers. It was super cool. You have to be very skilled to do that sort of thing, everything was just so quick. It was amazing how they could do a sort of shaking action where you could just hear their teeth chattering. Everything was even in time, exactly in time. I thought all of the performers were really, really good. I would most definitely recommend this performance to others, especially those who are or even want to become a professional dancer when they’re older. Most definitely the MFT event ’2 Faced Dance Company, Still Breathing’ was very much a night to remember.”

“Odyssey was an incredible show; it’s amazing to think that all of those effects were coming from him! While the audience were walking in and getting seated, the actor lay on the floor and to be quite honest it was very surprising to see him there, it was a little scary as well. When, at last, the audience quietened, he ‘woke up’ and made all sorts of sound effects using just his mouth, there was just a light and him. The first part was somewhat confusing because he pretended to fast forward and then go back as if stuck on one word. When he had finished doing this, he explained the story. Every time a certain name was mentioned he would do a different action and an effect to go with it; with Odysseus he would hit his fist against his chest. When Telamacus (his son) was mentioned, he made the sound of a sword being removed from its sheath, with Penelope (his wife) he would run his hand against his cheek. Then finally, when one of the suitors of Penelope was mentioned he would follow an imaginary moustache with his hands. Overall, it was a remarkable performance.”

“The Galliard Ensemble was a brilliant show which consisted of about seven or eight beautiful pieces of classical music. All of them about a swamp. I would highly recommend this show for people who like beautiful classical music.”

“Private Peaceful was an outstanding piece of theatre. It was an incredibly mature performance and the way it was performed worked very well. There was also very good use of props, such as the bed being used as the trench. There was a good balance of light-hearted moments and moving ones. It both started and ended very well, and the performance really captured the life of Tommo Peaceful. Overall, it was an enchanting performance and a piece of theatre worth five stars.”

“I think James Campbell was amazing, he was hilarious (but with fish!) and I was absolutely blown away by his performance. He was very entertaining and he involved the crowd in everything which was very cleverly done, and very impressive. His jokes were very very amusing and his use of words was fabulous. Overall, I think he was and always will be…a legend!!”

The event was truly remarkable and was held in aid of the children’s medical research charity Sparks. Hundreds of people attended and enjoyed a weekend of amazing and extraordinary entertainment in the fabulous setting of Windlesham House School which was bathed in sunshine throughout.
1500 local primary school children from Ashington, Findon, Shipley, Shoreham, Storrington, Washington and Worthing, as well as pupils from Little Windlesham and Garden Cottage Nursery, gave performances of their lives during the day on Saturday on the rock concert stage to the delight of the audience.

The Saturday evening spectacular was indeed spectacular! The airshows, the messages from the astronauts aboard the international space station, the music, the fireworks, the lights on the hills all giving a fabulous ambience. The crowd gasped at the parachute team and loved the Ghurkhas and stunning performances of the Windlesham House children who gave a show to be remembered.
Richard Foster, Headmaster of Windlesham House School said, “It was a simply fantastic weekend and I cannot express in words how proud I was of Windlesham. There were several times when I just stopped and pinched myself to check it was not a dream. The atmosphere throughout was fabulous.”
