Here are some audience comments, followed by the press review:
People
were very complimentary about Lippy Logic, I heard a lot of warm and
positive feedback. I noticed much laughter at the ruder
jokes from the elderly ladies......!
I
laughed and cried in turn. The 4 part sketch [Photographing Kites] in
Part 1 was most moving, and extremely well acted. I thought too that
all the complicated scenery/props were really well handled, given you
had such a small space. SO.....may you go on from strength to strength.

I'm from Australia and I thought I was coming to some amateur village show. But you were so professional, beautiful acting. The first part [Photographing Kites] was so sensitive too. An Australian visitor
We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and there was a full house too.....Your second half [Tour de France] was so funny and was most entertaining. A&JD

Mary
Berry, eat your heart out. A full house missed the final of the Great
British Bake Off for a performance by Lippy Logic in Hawes this week.
Veronica Caperon and Christine Hooley brought a mixture of banter,
song, and serious and comic sketches to an enthusiastic audience.
After
some warm-up local humour drawing on the creamery, the rope works and
Hardraw Force, the first half moved to a short play touching
sensitively and powerfully on mother/daughter relationships, the
challenge of finding the right man for some intelligent and forceful
women, and the deep pain of the loss in the family. The pain was
briefly relieved by the hypocrisy of an over-protective,
right-thinking mother of another small child.
The
second half began with a topical comic sketch set on the Buttertubs
Pass where two women plan to infiltrate the first day of this year's
Tour de France and win the first stage. They don't even begin to
pedal and are silenced as the competitors zip past but, before and
after, the jokes and the laughter flowed. The evening ended with the
Wensleydale premiere of Lippy Logic's theme song with witty new words
set to a familiar tune. The audience joined in the chorus with a
will.
Clever
writing and engaging performances showed just why so many of us are
happy to leave the telly and the fireside for the live theatre.
