“Avalon”

“”I’d heard it was good, but I hadn’t realised it was absolutely stunning.”  Reviews don’t come much better than this, especially for a new opera…… (“Avalon”) seems to have made an instant impression with one woman who wrote with her verdict to….. Ian Enters who has written the libretto……. The stage director is Rhonwen McCormack….. and it appears to have been a huge success so far.” – Sheffield Telegraph

“Avalon”, a new opera on the King Arthur story, was performed at Doncaster Minster. It was very enjoyable, with memorable music and excellent singing.” – Doncaster Today

“Avalon” the opera is halfway into its South Yorkshire tour, and is already receiving rave reviews…… stunning singing was complimented by beautiful period dress and authentic stage props….. And a quite stunning battle scene between the King and his son is the finest choreography I’ve witnessed for years. ….. If you can make the rest of the tour – get on down! You won’t be disappointed.” – Look Local

“The Christian Brothers”

“Director Rhonwen McCormack has approached writer Ron Blair’s accomplished play with great sympathy and understanding, and the results show in every aspect of this unnerving production.” – What’s On In London

“Jeremy Spriggs’s magnificent performance engages from the start, and holds attention with compulsion to the end. It’s a strange journey, intense, powerful, that touches the soul.” – Fringe Report

“La Dispute”

“Director, Rhonwen McCormack, takes this intriguing French comedy of 1744 into a sensual fantasy world where four newborn babies have been raised in isolation, so that when grown-up they can meet each other and resolve the question: which gender is at heart the more unfaithful? And, very skilfully she does it too with a light touch but firm grip on the production……… Do go – you won’t regret it.” – Bristol West End News
