The Canterville Ghost - Press reviews |
"The Canterville Ghost is sheer delight from start to finish. Sweetly eccentric, comically charming, colourfully spooky and jolly entertaining, it’s a terrific boost to ENB’s repertoire."
Debra Craine, The Times, 29 May 2006
"wonderful dancing - a comic Edwardian tennis party, a touching, bucolic pas de deux for Virginia and Cecil, a ghost's ball with virtuoso cameos. The production is visually stunning, the vibrant costumes offsetting imposing Edwardian gothic sets."
Geraldine Bedell, The Observer, Sunday May 28, 2006
"Set changes and a hypnotic score entice the tykes while Will Tuckett’s new choreography has depth and chiaroscuro. It’s comically light where it needs to be (which is often, with moving portraits, flying cutlery and hammy cameos) yet has enough depth in its pas de deux – the best coming between the ghostly Sir Simon de Canterville and his lovely corpse bride. Their shadowy courtship is a real treat."
Tanis Taylor, Metro, 30 May 2006
"... the creators of this masterful little ballet have made the plot delightfully easy to follow. Designers Dick Bird and Sue Blane whisk the setting at ingenious speed from English stately home to ghostly underworld, while a sympathetically colourful score from Martin Ward lifts Tuckett to his most exuberant choreographic form. "
