ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Cy Coleman

Director: Matt Bentley

Costume: Lemington Ridley

Set Design: Roberta Volpe

25 October 2016 Bridewell Theatre, London

“The auditorium at the Bridewell had a single ramp of seating leaving a large playing area with a good view of Roberta Volpe’s inventive and stylish set. It is no small feat to conjure up the illusion of the exterior and interior of a moving train, as well as several other locations, and Volpe does so with aplomb, the intricate sections of the train emerging from openings in the set and fitting together like a giant jigsaw. This was one of the most complex – and effective – sets I have seen in amateur theatre, and it is no surprise that a total of 26 people are listed as having helped in its construction (…) GEOIDS fully deserve their reputation as one of London’s leading amateur musical theatre companies”.
