AUTUMN 2007

Last words on If Music Be The Food of Love… from Noda and The Rose Bowl:

" the stage was a visual delight
" a unique evening's entertainment in an intimate atmosphere
" talented musicians
" a truly inspired production
" wonderfully varied program of song, dance, recitations and excerpts
" magnificent buffet supper
" a highly unusual production, the concept being extremely well thought out and executed with original and different aspects that were really refreshing, setting this show apart from the sometimes predictable content of similar productions.

And that's just a few of the compliments!
