| Recommendations by some who have already performed this show:- |
| "This play was very good for my purpose in
having a large number of specific roles which gave cast members their own
particular parts instead of being a chorus member. It was ajoy to perform and
parents obviously enjoyed the fact that so many had a proper part to play. The
score was very good." Sarah Muffett, Pitmaston Primary School, Worcester. |
| "Very bright and witty piece with jokes working
on several levels; 11 year olds enjoyed presenting it. Two nights of delighted
parents and friends." A. Mingham, Ranby House Preparatory School, Retford, Nottinghamshire. |
| "St. Bozo's is the most popular play (in the
children's eyes particularly) performed in the past six years at St. Andrew's.
It is our second production of the piece. The Year 8's have loved working with
the script, which has lots of opportunities for cameo roles to
develop." Andrea Inglis, St. Andrew's Preparatory School, Eastbourne. |
