Christmas Carol Reviews
"I watched the wonderful Christmas Panto last night with friends and I was so touched by the opening clip – there are no words to express how much that has meant to me and my family. Malcolm loved being involved in the St Michaels Players over the years. You are so right he has not been forgotten as is testament to all the wonderful letters, notes that we have and are still receiving. He had an amazing ability to contact with so many people
I am writing this to you in the hope that you can please pass my thanks onto Alastair and Chris and other members of the cast. I also have to say that I thought you managed to put on an excellent performance under such difficult circumstances – well done. I look forward to 2021 and being able to support the Players when once again you are all able to perform in person once again" Menna O'N, Chiswick
"I had a wonderful time yesterday watching your panto. It made me miss London even more. But on the plus side I got to watch panto from my home. And it was absolutely fantastic! Well done! Spot on and all on zoom. The jokes, the timing, the acting I'm very impressed." Ans, Miek and Charlie, Netherlands
"Congratulations - panto was really fun! Merry Christmas" Katherine S, Switzerland
"We watched your fabulous panto last night. Thank you so much. It was great fun. Edie said it must have been particularly fun for Scrooge's wife/daughter or whoever it was assigned with the task of throwing custard pies in his face!! It was hugely appreciated and raised spirits that really needed lifting! And thank you so much for raising funds for the Church. We have had a challenging year financially but, on the plus side, we've never felt more loved and connected with our community - which is wonderful" Rev Martine O
