He is vivaciously aided by Rebecca Rudge with her sexy cartwheel and naughty feather duster.' Manchester Evening News ' Rebecca Rudge is a revelation as the tyrannical chambermaid Vespetta in Telemann's Pimpinone... she's exceptional - unforced personality, bright, clear soprano voice of considerable musicality. A natural, she does cartwheels too.' Sheffield Telegraph ' Rebecca Rudge, bright and sexy as Vespetta, and Donald Maxwell as the bumbling bachelor Pimpinone bounce their farce off each other with some good timing and nice business - great fun.' BBC Radio Stoke ' Maxwell…an exceptional protagonist…holds the stage with the natural flair of a great actor and also possess a very fine voice.” Falstaff at La Scala, Milan Donald Maxwell – “A superb raconteur frequently breaking into the programme with relevant and oft humorous anecdotes.” Rebecca Rudge –“ A great delight to the eye, she also enchanted the audience with her singing and proved to be more than a match for Donald Maxwell in his on-stage antics and ad-libs.” From a review of a concert for Lockerbie Music Society, December 2006 |
