"A special mention for the ubiquitous Monsieur Triquet, played by Christopher Ovenden who stepped into the Ball scene and, dare I say it, almost stole the show, with his slick wit, exaggerated French accent and flowery bows!" "Among the supporting cast, the gong goes to Christopher Ovenden for an outstandingly sung and acted Goro" |
