Curtain Call
Southern Daily Echo, May 2009
DYNAMO Youth Theatre provided its answer to
the credit crunch with a comedy double to lighten
the mood without weighing down the pocket.
Yasmin Langley and Helen Moyles, directors
of Ernie's Incredible Illucinations, brought
a fresh perspective and introduced inventive
touches.
They were blessed by an enthusiastic cast
and an engaging central performance by Barney
Walsh. The impact and humour were blunted, however,
by pacing.
The older DYT members had great fun with Whodidit?
a spoof country house murder mystery story.
This was a sharply paced and slickly executed
piece with some great visual jokes.
James Diprose (Inspector Story) and Sonny
Baker (Uncle) made the strongest impression
and stole some of the biggest laughs. An enjoyable
antidote to the economic gloom.
