Review: “an absolutely brilliant performance”

Christian Voices have now completed the first performance of Malachi on Saturday 11/Apr/2015.

The audience at Ninfield Methodist Church Hall were extremely enthusiastic and appreciative of the play and the music.  We’d like to thank the staff at the hall for the wonderful tea we received afterwards.

One attendee, Sandy Willard of Christchurch Methodist Church, has sent this review of the performance to Alan Young, the playwright for Malachi.  Thank you, Sandy, for such lovely words.


Dear Alan,
As was said at Ninfield Church this afternoon – an absolutely brilliant performance – again! I was very pleased too that you had a full audience – that must certainly help you all, to know that so many people want to come along to see your performances, each time.
Whilst I can appreciate that there must be hours of rehearsals and preparation for each performance, the thing that always attracts me is what I see as the simplicity of how you present your stories whilst at the same time, the message comes across loud and clear, particularly on this occasion. I have made a mental note to listen more intently to our services and to test myself re the content, once I get home!
Another part, which always pleases me, is to see the youngsters – Natasha Kristi and Monique, and Laura whom I assume is perhaps your daughter – she certainly is a very good actress, remembering all her words as she did. Not only is it good for the audience and Christian Voices, to have them, but being part of your group must be so good for them as they are growing up, and for their future years. Long may they continue with you.
Congratulations to you all and I hope you have success in all of your forthcoming performances.

Best wishes,    Sandy Willard

Bexhill Observer: 03/04/2015: New Christian play unveiled this month

Here you will find the article about the upcoming play Malachi from the Bexhill Observer published on 03/Apr/2015.

The BO seems to have got a bit confused in the run up to the Holiest day of the year and partially misattributed writing credits for the play.

To correct: the playwright is Alan Young, songs by Dave Chamberlin and the play is directed by Caroline Cox.

We are now into our final week of rehearsals and Christian Voices are excited to see the performances now looming large on the calendar!

Gulp!

As the BO article states, we are currently raising funds for the local charity Dragonflies.  The charity supports young people and their families at their hour of need; the loss of someone close to them.

As it says on their website:

Children grieve differently to adults. Young children experience grief in much the same way that adults do, although they may express their feelings differently and may progress through the various stages of grief more quickly than adults. Sometimes there may be changes in behaviour after a bereavement such as refusing to go to school, abnormal health concerns and anxiety. 


The Dragonflies project offers opportunities to acknowledge a child’s grieving and encourage them to talk about their feelings in a safe and friendly environment.

A worthy and noble cause which we are pleased to be able to support.  Entrance to CV plays is free but there is a retiring collection for those who feel they wish to contribute to this cause.

If you want to attend any of our performances of Malachi, yep as in the Old Testament book, here is the full list of performances.

Hmm, as the title is “No Room at the Inn” I’m not holding out much hope.
