Robert, Bernard's friend and Jacqueline's lover, played by Jim Staton, was every inch the accountant going along with Bernard's story invention. She really enjoyed every moment of playing one man off against another. “Playing Bernard, Jacqueline's husband, Steve Cooke portrayed the harassed central character with just the right amount of bewilderment, opposite his wife, Jacqueline, played by Vivienne Mills who obviously revelled in her own subterfuge within the storyline.

The plot of the play itself was one of the best I’ve seen - the story had me gripped to the astounding end! All of the cast were amazing - but the three youngsters were SO professional their age certainly did not reflect in their performances. "Absolutely fantastic night last night being entertained by the cast in All I Want for Christmas. "Really great play and well written, some really moving parts and well worth a watch, topical I’ll definitely go again, all I want for Christmas is the first serious play I’ve watched I really enjoyed it. Beautifully written play, wonderful acting with a twist in the tail. Well done to all involved in such a great production!" We will definitely be coming back in 2019 for the next play. What's more, the intimacy of the venue works exceptionally well to draw the audience in closer to the characters and helped make it a wonderfully unique and personal experience. The play had an engaging and intelligent plot with believable characters and the ending really was a stunner that had us marvelling at how clever the script had so subtly been all along. "Had the pleasure tonight of watching 'All I want for Christmas' and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The set design gave a true intimate portrayal of this somewhat ‘jaded’ steam room that meant so much to the women, the lighting and effects adding to the ambiance and professionalism of the production.Īll in all, a wonderful production in a lovely, setting. John Mills direction gives us believable characters that we can identify with, laugh, cry and ultimately stand alongside, as they campaign to keep the baths open. The women put aside their differences when they learn their beloved safe haven is about to be closed down. Now to the production, the play is a comedy drama that tells the story of a group of women, from differing social circles, who meet weekly in their local Steam Baths. These are set out on tables adorned with table clothes, then served and passed down the rows, with a smile, whilst you remain seated – utterly charming. What a delightful experience, when you enter the building you are immediately transported back in time, there is a strong community feel here, that embraces even those, like myself, who are not from that community! As the curtain descends for the interval another charming event takes place, a small army appears laden with pots of tea and coffee and plates of biscuits.
A group of friends and I recently visited Colne Little Theatre to watch a production of ‘Steaming’ directed by John Mills.
