"David
Lyndon’s Konstantin is subtle and intelligent with a moving quality
to the playing which makes the final melancholy scene with Polly
Hayes' Nina deeply pitiful.
Her supple, open manner points up the contrast with Konstantin’s
buttoned-up misery which stoops and bends his body in anguished
realisation and propels him towards the
dramatic, but tragic
finale."
Ann
Fitzgerald,
The Stage and Television Today
"The Beast is
a truly theatrical character from a dream play brought beautifully
to life in a silver and black costume, finally metamorphosing like
an Ovidian icon into a handsome hero.
David Lyndon puts in an intensely
powerful performance here and when he emerged after his
transformation, a wonderful appreciative adult female sigh swept the
audience, as did a warm round of applause!
However, to prove that
this also worked for perceptive children (and there are more than
you’d think) you only had
to look around the theatre to see how tiny jaws chewing firmly on
this or that suddenly stopped in awe when the Beast was transformed
by Rose’s love. And how the children cheered along; and how happy I
was to brush away a genuine tear and join in."
Richard Edmonds, Birmingham Post
"The Fairy Godmother played by Wendy Craig was truly enchanting and
David Lyndon’s Prince Charming was a real dashing hero
with strong presence and a super singing voice; his duets with
Cinderella made for some magical moments."
Cliff
Bendall, Eastbourne Herald
"An
arresting performance from David Lyndon as Jaques, whose immaculate
handling of the Ages of Man verses provided a moment of sheer beauty
as they rang out in the hushed evening twilight."
Richard Edmonds, The Stage and
Television Today
"Lucy Robinson’s elegant Portia was for once matched in strength by
her Bassanio – a real charmer from the impossibly handsome David
Lyndon."
JK, Evesham Journal
