CONGRATULATIONS! kate Simmons School of Dance.
Emotional and creative choreography by Kate Simmons make this new ballet a gripping drama. It is a first for the school as the music has been composed for the ballet and it was played by a 12 piece orchestra for the three performances held at the spacious and modern theatre, the Brindley in Runcorn. A packed house on the Sunday evening resulted in a standing ovation for this tragic but exquisite ballet. Superb dancing by Jenny Hackwell, dancing Mary. Joe Bentley dancing George. Edward the king danced by Sam Jones, who kept up strong acting throughout the ballet. Finally but not least Rachel Teeling-Smith as Mrs Simpson. Danced and acted superbly. Her demure look in the beginning of the ballet soon developed into a ruthless character, who would stop at nothing to secure her goals. She succeeded ....... but at what cost.
The audience were left wanting more, which is the sign of a great work!
