Wizard of Oz reviews and photos now available

We were all sad to postpone Wizard of Oz in January due to rising Covid cases but it was well worth the wait for the performance that followed. Thanks to the generosity of Winchester College we staged The Wizard of Oz at their QEII Theatre on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 April 2022. It was a joyous success and in addition to positive audience feedback the performance also received glowing reviews from art critics.

“I come away from the productions so impressed with the amount of work that everyone puts in, the quality that they produce and the enjoyment they all get from being a part of a big group.”
— Danny Habel, member of the audience

If this is the ‘Wizard of Oz’ then who is the old lady in the Hampshire care home, and why are we moving from 2022 to 1970 and 1898? As memories fade and the mind plays its tricks, is someone confusing reality with childhood stories or Hollywood movies?

“I should have never trusted that damned-fool Baum man, shifty. Took everything I said and wrote it right down, in black and white. Not an original thought under his hat. And don’t get me started on that darned film! Ruby shoes indeed! The shoes were silver, the most beautiful things I ever saw. Silver…I should know…I wore them.”

Yes, there is a cowardly lion, confused scarecrow and a tin man searching for a  heart – but this is Blue Apple Theatre taking on a classic, so expect the unexpected and be prepared to see the familiar from a fresh perspective.”
