The Jungle Book
Lakeside Theatre, Nottingham
Associate Director to Martin Berry
Large Community Cast production of Toby Hulse's musical play. My role included running rehearsals in director's absence and working on various movement pieces including the character of Kaa pictured above.
"Among the many highlights of the evening this reviewer loved the multi – actress portrayal of the dangerous and seductive rock python Kaa. The performers Becki Scollick, Tori Hope, Louiesa Harbord and Paige Cunningham all combine, at subtly different vocal levels and in movement to temptingly portray the snake who eyes you don’t want to be drawn into." Reviewer Phil Lowe
