Reviews
Congrats to Mirror Mirror. It’s a sharp, funny script with some clever subtle touches, well realised through an admirable cast and some canny direction. Look out for pleasingly modern pronouns, a nod to the Sussexes, and the kind of stunt that would infuriate PETA. Just what Christmas is all about.
Peter Stevens
It was everything you could want from a Christmas show - creative, silly, engaging. Full of boos, hisses and laughs. I thoroughly enjoyed it. But it was seeing the reaction of the younger members of the audience that really blew me away. That's when you remember how magical theatre is. And what an important part we play in our community. And when you think about the additional Sunday morning performance that the team put on, and the families who otherwise probably wouldn't get to see any theatre, you realise how special SLT is.
Simon Gleisner
Been way too long since I’ve been down and brought back lovely memories; not least an urge to be involved in theatre again! So all credit to you all…
Loved the show. Well done Anna Callender especially but you were all fab. Giselle you were truly horrible! Caroline Durant played the most lovely gardener
Emma Hillman
Thanks for a lovely afternoon to all the Mirror Mirror gang. Giselle Parker was perfectly cast, an awesome wicked queen, can't wait to see more of her on our SLT stage. I now feel set up for Christmas
Charlotte Benstead
From the West Norwood Local Facebook group:
I took my girls to see Mirror Mirror at the SLT last night. We had such a good night. Highly recommended and it is suitable from 5 years and up. Please do go support them if you can. I had my daughter and her friend who are just turned 5 and they kept looking over and talking to them throughout it was so lovely
and
We went last weekend had a fantastic time. And the narrator gets all the kids involved which is really really good.
And finally, a word from the writer:
To the cast of "Mirror, Mirror" - thank you for all your efforts bringing my written characters to such vividly entertaining life. I absolutely loved watching you and the imaginative, amusing touches you brought to everything you did. I think you are all brilliant! And Jo Boniface - what can I say? You're an absolute star and your instincts are fantastic. Team Mirror, go, go, GO !! xxx
