Working in New Spaces What the press says “With its production of Laurel and Hardy, Chalkfoot once again proved its worth as a first-class theatre company reaching out to all members of the community at all kinds of venues.”. Natalie Ebden, Thanet Extra, on Laurel and Hardy (2008) “Despite the odd spot of rain, children, mums and dads and even the temporarily displaced adolescent cider-drinkers watching from the sides were rapt by this fresh take on a classic yarn.” Eastern Daily News (on Peter Pan, 2007) “Philip Dart’s pleasingly fresh Peter Pan managed to fly triumphantly regardless of the lowering skies...An enjoyable show.” Susan Elkin, The Stage (on Peter Pan, 2007) “In adapting [Ragged Trousered Philanthropists] for the stage Chalkfoot's director Philip Dart emphasised the human stories .... an entirely successful theatrical interpretation of the text. A fantastic piece which should be seen by anyone who appreciated the book or hasn't recognised the human importance of the Welfare State.” T. Norman, The Brighton Argus on The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (national tour, 2007) “Art to Enchant: in the words of Shakespeare’s sorcerer Prospero the “art to enchant” has been perfected by Chalkfoot theatre company. With their latest offering at St Augustine’s Abbey, they brought the Bard to life in both a highly entertaining and enlightening way. A combination of first-rate acting, imaginative scenery and costumes and magical musical interludes made this show a theatrical treat.” East Kent Mercury on “The Tempest” (St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury, 2007) << back
