ANDREW McNALLY
We are sad to hear of the untimely death of one of
our former members, Andrew McNally, who passed away on 22nd July.
Andrew had a passion for theatre, taking this into his professional
career as a drama teacher in Bolton, Greater Manchester. Tributes
have poured in from all those who knew him and remembered their
time at First Act with him. You were loved and well respected Andrew,
rest in peace.
Andrew McNally
1981-2010

..the creative team was asked to
re-imagine the show and has done so, not least by adding more Hugo
and, I think, more intensity...Paris is transformed into towering
slum buildings, below which citizens scurry like mice ...almost
all the performers are as strong as those I’ve seen in London,
down to a wizened, smirking Ashley Artus and a chunky, tough Lynne
Wilmot as those representives of evil opportunism, the Thenardiers...
