Wee Witches
Written & Directed by Virginia Radcliffe
Seea Brightstar lives with Vera Bird on a rooftop high above the city. Seea Brightstar is a witch - but what sort of which is she? And where are the wonderful witches of Glasburgh?
Wee Witches is a funny and powerful tale about witches, about people and about a bad bad king.
Audience Comments
Mum enjoyed it just as much as the children.
I liked... throwing happy things to the Laughter Egg.
I liked... When Seea Brighstar went off on the broomstick.
I liked... when the King looks like he's really rude.
I liked... everything!
Reviews
it's easy to see why this whimsical, high-spirited and generous-hearted show works so well. Virginia radcliffe's story of how a grudging, self centred king drives away all the wee witches - and also the fun, laughter and whoopee cushions - from Glasburgh, until young Seea Brightstar (Vivien Graham) brings the witches back, is sweetly crafted in it's own right.
But add some rollicking, rockin' songs, lots of audience participation, wildly colourful costumes (including fabulous pointy hats) and engagingly full-on performances from the cast of two - well it's a whole box of fresh, free-ranging Laughter Eggs for young audiences.
THE HERALD 2007
...Lindow's versatile, colourful rooftop set sits confidently on the large stage...Grahame and radcliffe's unstinting, romping engagement with the audience ... spins the magic and laughter right to the roof...
THE HERALD 2004
...it's parade of sad and merry witches, catchy songs and narrative...matches the inventiveness and wit of the storytelling.
TES SCOTLAND 2004
......a lively touring revival... the story is strong and the storytelling is excellent.
...played with tremendous panache...this fairly fashes before your eyes.
