Captain Corelli’s Mandolin Tickets

BRILLIANT EVENING. THANK YOU.

A very imaginative production which contrasted most interestingly with The Secret River, which I had seen at the National Theatre the previous evening. The portrayals of animals, soldiers, explosions, conflict, etc. must have presented considerable challenges, which were overcome in some style.

Lovely play, really well acted

Myself & italian husband loved the show, he plays the mandolin and was really impressed by the live mandolin music! Singing was fantastic, the 2 characters playing the goat and pine-martin really added to the show. Loved the theatre too. All in all, a lovely evening, would highly recommend it.

I struggled with the first half - not having read the book but loved the film - and found it very laboured. I can't understand why women were cast as male soldiers, were there not enough males available? It just didn't make sense to me. The second half was better in that the story flowed better. The acting was good - the goat deserves an award! - and Madison Clare played Pelagia, the strong young woman well. All in all I'd have preferred not to travel 3 hours each way to see it as it felt it was more suited to a provincial theatre.

It was quite an imaginative play and I enjoyed it, but some thought it was a little far fetched.

Poor quality,two actors acting the part of animals was an insult to ones intelligence z .The play was extremely boring and We did not meet Corelli for a very long time.We left the theatre at that stage and so I cannot comment further.

Brilliant interpretation of the story. Simple set very effective. Loads of humour as well as pathos.

Thank you. Very enjoyable performance.

Absolutely loved it .

we left at half time, felt like we were watching a very amateur play, v boring!

Brilliant play and fantastic theatre!
