Very well done
I've been seeing CADS performances since I was a child when I went with my mother (1960s). I've never been disappointed by a performance though some stand out above others - On Golden Pond & Allo Allo are two of my favourites. Last weeks performance of Tomb with a view was amazing. The amount of dialogue to be learned, which was word perfect on Saturday (the last night), was truly amazing and so well done to everyone on stage. But also all the background crew make the entire performance come alive. The friend I took with me this year, hadn't been to see CADS for some years and was delighted at such a superb performance. A big round of applause to everyone involved. Our reason for 4stars and not 5, relates to the building, as the back disabled parking entrance was in complete darkness, no lights working, and the steep steps to and from the auditorium make things very difficult for us and prevents us accessing the toilet at the interval. We are both disabled with limited mobility, and one also with limited vision. We found this part of the evening disappointing, considering how well everything else went.

Hi Julie Thanks so much for your glowing review of the show and all involved, it's much appreciated. Thank you also for your continued patronage over the years. If you do visit us again, please make yourselves known to us. The issues at the back of the building are not within our control but will be mentioned to them. However, we can definitely help with FOH. Any member of the FOH team would have aided you up and down the steps, or alternatively, we do have a platform lift that we can access for anyone who cannot make the stairs. I do hope this goes some way to reassuring you that we hope to make everyone's visit to us as pleasant as we possibly can. If you'd like to write to me at [email protected], I can make sure that next time you are very well looked after.
