Into The Woods JR is a play of magic and adventure, and adventurous magic is certainly what the Cokethorpe audience was treated to. A spectacle that provided laughs and gasps as well as some breathtaking singing performances, made all the more special with the accompaniment of the live band.
The plot followed the intertwining narrative of a selection of Brothers Grimm fairytales and allowed for a challenging range of songs and some delightful moments of expert silliness. The fact that this talented group were able to put it all together in just six weeks of grit and determination was almost unbelievable.
This was a glorious showcase of the talent Cokethorpe has to offer. The immense quality and finesse of the performance from every member of the cast, crew and creative saw the production ready to hit The West End rather than The Shed. Congratulations to all involved, to Mr Wilson and his vision and meticulous detail in directing this demanding production and all of the help that the glorious Drama Department made to the success and professionalism of this project.
