Theatre on Chester Reviews

   Pretty much as expected from local theatre.

 Most enjoyable

       Loved it

     Always a fabulous evening of entertainment. High class acting, props, and location.

        First class choice of actors and acting

       Thank you for putting the air conditioner on after half time. Much better but almost too cold. I’ll bring a wrap next time. Once again it was disappointing to struggle to hear. My husband and I are not deaf but when actors turn to the side to speak or don’t project their voices it is very annoying to miss so many lines. We were left wondering if it is a problem with the height of the stage roof? Hiw us one supposed to hear an actor when they speak low from

      What a wonderful group Theatre on Chester is...surviving Covid's attempt to kill us all in 2020 & '21, then putting together a fabulous program for 2022. The Box Office is excellent too, despite the difficulties of cancellations, rescheduling, booking changes etc, the liaison with ticket holders is patient and efficient.

   Lovely theatre. Really enjoyed the experience

 Always great,

   Friendly local Community Theatre

  Online booking was not straightforward. Discounted tickets had to be bought separately, and the discount only applied to 1 ticket. It was very cumbersome. I paid full price and had to be reimbursed.

     5 stars excellent performances from all 3 actors. Well worth a visit. J

   Stimulating, interested, great acting

   Great production! Really enjoyed this play - very engrossing and seriously great acting!!

   Loved it

   Loved it

   The play started off well. Good concept . It got bogged down in the second part going over the same fairly trivial things. I thought there would be a revelation but there was not. I was very impressed with the actors.

   Very well acted, but the story - ?????

   Thought provoking and well cast

   Great an acting. An enjoyable play, with great performances.

   Great acting, but become a tad boring towards the end.

   Very topical and thought provoking. Very well acted

   Disappointing

   Another great evening.

   Really enjoyed this play. Great performance from the actors. Loved the scenery and costumes.

   Excellent production

   The production was great and the

 We had a great time. Excellent performance, very comfortable environment. We also appreciated how easy it was to get to the venue compared to having to go into the city.

   Really enjoyed the evening. Great acting, costumes & scene props- brought back memories!! “Judy” was amazing how she managed so magnificently in portraying the role at short notice.

   Brilliant!!

  Enjoyable. Kate Mannix was superb.

   After a “setting the scene “ start, the inner world of a bereaved woman unravels - as does that of her cousin. The actors truely live their parts. Brilliant! Another Carla Moore highlight.

   I just loved it - very cleverly done!!!

   It was brilliant! Amazing set, and every single member of the cast was a strong actor. Appropriate costumes. I saw it twice and loved it both times. Congratulations!

   Very nice event, especially Fabiola Pellegrino acted Yvette. Very good actress and good group

   Brilliant, cleverly done, very funny

 Brilliant timing and choreography from the cast, excellent costuming. Lines were sometimes difficult to hear/understand from row E (apart from Wadsworth). Set was very clever but used too much at times. Perhaps the scene changes could have been reduced. Good lighting. The interminable movement/chase/choreography in the 2nd act The play seemed 'cartoon-like, pointless and repetitive. I was not involved in solving the murder/s and kept falling asleep in the first act.

   Thank you!! ‘‘Twas a brilliant, fun (& funny), creative interpretation of CLUE. Congratulations to Isaac, the cast, crew and team.

   Absolutely loved it. A farce that is fun and silly in a way that is so well done. The script, casting and costumes are all great, and the set design for a small stage was brilliant. The melodramatic walks, poses, facial expressions and 'frozen moments had me giggling! Always a great night out and rhe most amazing value for a very professional amateur theatre.

   Fantastic performance from all the cast Great sets Just brilliant

 We were glad to support a local production of a local playwright. I wasn't familiar with The Peach Season prior to seeing this production and enjoyed the play and the cast.

   Enjoyed it

   We found some of the actors hard to hear as we were sitting towards the back

     It was a great show. All the actors did a fantastic job. Definitely recommend

  Unfortunately I didn’t like The Peach Season. Just felt boring, not interesting sound effects etc. Way too much sitting on the ground by the cast and I was struggling to see them from up the back. I liked Christine’s Hungarian Grandmother portrayal though.

   Loved it! Acting was superb and the production was done really well! Some moments where hard to hear when actors spoke softly.

   Outstanding - as usual!

   This was the first Chester Street production which we found disappointing. The actors were excellent - no discredit to them at all. The choice of the play was the problem. It was eminently predictable, with stereotypical characters. I was hoping that the second act might offer something more, but was disappointed. There seemed to be no resolution, and I was left wondering what the point of the play was. The director's notes suggested something deeper than was delivered.

     I had never seen "Blythe Spirit" before and knew nothing more than it was a Noel Coward play. It was a very enjoyable surprise. The acting was excellent, stagecraft also, and the ending - to one uninitiated - a surprise. The team's interval hospitality is always an added bonus to Chester Street productions. My only other comment would be that the lady who played the medium carried off her accent so well that I (perhaps only I) found her sometimes difficult to underst

     Great.

   great local show

   Amazing - as usual

   Another wonderful performance by talented artists.

     Excellent casting & costuming. A superb revival of an old favourite play!

    I enjoyed the play very much. Scenery and costumes were great. Acting was excellent. Audience participation re. applauding was fun. My husband, however, disliked the play?! He was not aware of the story of Florence, whereas I had seen the film, perhaps that made the difference.

 The production was fine but the play was not that funny

   Funny and entertaining. I was already familiar with the story.

   Wonderful play with great actors!

   Well performed. Excellent set & costumes.

   Had trouble hearing Freya

   Also very enjoyable and well-acted

     Not so good.

     Thought-provoking, emotional and poignant. A beautiful production.

 Another fine Chester Street production.

        Consistent pace of plot development , At times the actors spoke too quickly , muffling phrases . Great set use

   Fantastic play, really enjoyed. Fabulous actors, excellent directing. Looking forward to Carla’s next production

   Didnt goto this so pls ignroe couldnt get rid of the sat

 This was by far and away the best play I've seen in the last few years. (I really enjoyed "In Duty Bound" as well - it really got me thinking about all sorts of issues.) I enjoyed "Things I know to be true" so much that I considered attending another performance. This didn't happen, but I borrowed a copy of the play from the library (had an enormous amount of trouble to get it - only available from Fisher Library at Sydney Uni); read it as soon as I got it!

 Excellent play, recommended to me (a friend had seen it elsewhere, Possibly Seymour Cente or Belvoir a few years before) and I'm very glad I saw it too

     One of the slowest and most disappointing plays I’ve ever seen at Chester St.

       Great work!
