Reviews
Exuberance, vitality, invention and sheer joy ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Newbury Youth Theatre have done it again with their sparky and sparkling new show about the Wizard of Winterbourne, one John Palmer who lived in the village of Boxford in the mid-19th century, and about whom there are many tales, some of which might even be true…
An entertaining production from a talented young cast. Interactive and fun from the moment you walk in the door. Good for children too. Fast moving, engaging and funny. The stories woven round the "Wizard “ are intriguing; you couldn’t make them up! Do go and support this excellent cast, you won’t regret it.
