The recent production by AAOS at the Greig Centre, Alcester was warmly recieved by big audiences every night. The show was a tremendous success and owed a great deal to Malcolm Steward's production skills and direction. The many outstanding visual and audible effects were a tribute to his creative talents and dogged determination. The musical direction by Mandy Alexander was complimented by the talented pianist Michelle, a new and very welcome member to our production team. The mixture of traditional and comtemporary musical items, presented in solo, ensemble and full chorus format provided a balance to Charles Dicken's traditional story.
