"The French accents and pronunciation by every cast member were outstanding, especially Geoffrey who had most of his script in French which he delivered with French hand movements and mannerisms. Jess could be a fire hazard in the dry season – she was hot. No man was safe.
"The costumes by Merri Ford capture the 1930s perfectly but is the outfits for the wild Students’ Ball that bring the smiles.
"In only her second major show, international swimming champion Marie-Ève Cigna proved she never tackles anything half-heartedly. Kaitlyn was often the calm in the storm, stoically carrying a tray through the fray. Kane was delightful as the poor innocent student desperate to learn – everything.
"From wild Brian to the temperamental Hon. Alan, then from the enigmatic Commander to Diana’s brother Kenneth. The characters were clearly defined by the experienced, dedicated director Barry Parks. As Rattigan shuffles all his characters, putting them in every possible combination, it takes strong direction and fine acting skills to ensure that the action is understood. Great chemistry and well-presented fun..."
