Whistle Down The Wind - Theatre

From the winners of 2005 Waterford Light Opera festival comes their second helping from the junior members.

Flaggy Lane`s second junior production got under way last night Monday 3rd April with the week long running of Whistle Down The Wind. After last year`s success of The Wizard Of Oz (sell out) the follow up was going to be hard and after intense debate, Whistle Down the Wind was decided upon under director David Hennessy.

Last night`s show was absolutely breathtaking, from the costums to set design and the overall singing ability of both adults to children, this musical/drama about a group of children who mistake an escaped convict for Jesus and try to conceal him from the authorities, is truly a spellbinding trip.

If your looking for a captivating night out in the company of adults and children in Waterford this week you will not go far wrong with a visit to the Theatre Royal with your loved one`s and family. Miss this show at your pearl.:)

It`s finished now and the tears of goodbye have been said, Holly Brown, Deirdre Kelly, Ben Jacob stand proud. David Hennessy have a good look at this when the dust settles maybe, maybe the next Opera festvial? To see a group of 8 to 16 yrs old children give all for nothing more than other peoples enjoyment will never leave this soft heart. All I`ll say now is Is maith an t-anlann an t-ocras and may all these people involved have the hunger to keep up the good work and bring a little happiness to a world that has become too self-centred. Well done to all and God Bless you all..........................thanks.
