Product Information

a booklover’s dream come true. . . a simply bewitching tale . . . another captivating mystery that is impossible to put down. Dreamy prose, lush landscapes, and fascinating characters combine to create a reading experience that is truly like no other. . . ‘— Angus & Robertson, Book of the Month This is an immersive, beautifully told story which was made to be devoured on a drizzly Sunday afternoon with a round of crumpets and a pot of tea.’— Red Magazine It is devastating though that later, when the reason for her true difference is fully revealed, only a few remember her best qualities. There was some outstanding singing and acting going on at the Laban Theatre. The production certainly sounded wonderful and the small band, headed by superb pianist and MD Tony Castro, sounded as accomplished as it did at the Landor and at recent Webborn and Finn concerts. The entire cast was animated and effervescent and sounded tremendous in ensemble numbers. Webborn and Finn write complex music but this company made fast and furious rhythms, melodies and lyrics sound easy. I also loved Jenny Arnold’s inspired and exhilarating choreography.

another triumph, captivating from start to finish. . . masterfully constructed. . . a stunning tale of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss.’— Better Reading My only disappointment was that the magic of the town and story was not by the set and props. Granted this was a small-scale production, but if a tiny Fringe theatre such as The Landor can create supreme gorgeousness out of a minimal budget it should be possible for others to do so. Morgan-Lee Wilcox as Constance’s one true friend Amelia gave a lovely, fully believable performance throughout, also singing beautifully, and Juan Douglas – as the Major – made his supporting role stand out.

The beautiful story is a heartbreaking magical tale of this young girl, Constance. Created differently from others, and slightly ‘odd’ on first meeting, he looks pretty much the same as other girls.

Constance’s best friend, Amelia, stays loyal to her friend, admonishing the character of Will when he loses faith and starts to turn away from Constance, just when she most needs him.

It’s probably my least fav of hers…..my main frustration is how long it took to get to the plot. 60% to intro characters was way too long!

It was hugely exciting to get another opportunity to see this most impressive new musical once more after being spellbound by Robert McWhir’s profoundly beautiful production at Clapham’s Landor Theatre in 2015. uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist’s sketchbook containing Crown, Sarah (27 December 2007).

She enjoyed reading books from an early age, her favourites being those by Enid Blyton.
