Hi Colin –

So sorry to hear of your problems with posting your message on our ‘123 Guestbook’ message board.  

I do not have any control over the messages that are posted on this board, so do not understand why yours did not appear on 30th April. In fact none appeared on that date as you can see.

The only control I have is taking these messages, when they arrive, and adding them to the ‘Your Comments’ page relating to the play in question.  This is a web page that I have created using the guest book messages.  The guest book is a page created by ‘123 Guestbook .com’.

If I had come across your message on the ‘123 Guestbook board’ believe me I would have gladly added it to the ‘Your Comments’ page just as I have done with all the others that I received.

Margaret did ask Ralph for an explanation and he passed her email onto me. I have duly replied to Margaret explaining the procedure on how to sign this guest book.

As you can see, by your successfully posted message on 13 May, messages are written in the white box and then you are asked to decipher a code so as to keep out the spammers.

I can only say thank you very much for having tried to send your comments and I am very sorry not to have received them.

Dear Web Editor,

Having visited my friend Margaret Collins on the last weekend in April (the timing of the visit planned to coincide with the Sat. evening performance of "Shadowlands" I was in the audience for that final performance, and incidentally also at the get-together at Ralph's house afterwards.    During conversations, when I expressed my congratulations to all involved, I was invited to put a message on your website, which I did on 30 April after returning home to Solihull.
To the best of my knowledge I followed the procedure to post the message, but it has never appeared, despite the fact that others have since.   It was quite lengthy, albeit very complimentary.
I can only assume that you have decided not to print the message,which, of course, is your perogative, but as I took quite some time to compose and then type it, it would at least be satisfying to know that it was received, and that my time wasn't wasted.
I understand that Margaret has mentioned it to Ralph but as no explanation has been forthcoming perhaps you would be kind enough to confirm receipt.     Thankyou.

Goff and I were at Shadowlands first night and we would like you to know that we thought it was incredible, we loved it, fantastic, it even brought tears to Goff's eyes and that isn't easy to do. You should all be extrememly proud of yourselves, London West End eat your heart out, we look forward to the next production. Mike you were completely transformed, it took a second or two to recognise you, but your portrayal of Lewis was excellent as was your leading lady and indeed everyone involved and that is not forgetting Meg and her production team, bravo.

Just amazing production- Mike genuinely became CS Lewis, Steph brilliantly laconic as Joy, and Ali surely has a great stage career ahead of him, such a heavy role at his age and we so wished that Joy could make a miraculous recovery for a happy ending. Rarely have I seen a play- or even come to that a film- where I've identified with and cared about the characters like that, Mike's final soliloquy left us all in tears (and I didn't even cry when Bambi's mother was shot...).
A triumph- can't say any more!

Wow!  Shadowlands was an ambitious work to take on but what a triumph.  Everyone I’ve talked to was completely knocked out by it.  From Mike’s first speech it gripped you.  Mike became Jack Lewis and Steph was totally believable as Joy from the moment she walked on stage.  The acting overall was of high standard but Mike and Steph’s performance was in a different league, transcending anything I have ever seen on the amateur stage and much I’ve seen done by professionals.  It was a superlative performance.  Congratulations to all involved.  And ‘thank you’

Just a note to say a Big Thank you to everyone from the Shadowlanders! ^_^

Well Done to Ralph for giving us the challenge that this play brings by all accounts from our wonderful audience not only was it a wonderful, emotional play to watch it was also important!

Special mention to our youngest little star Ali! His portrayal of Douglas hit the nail on the head XD & without him we wouldn't have been able to put the play on!

Cast/Crew & Front of house all deserve a pat on the back for another play successfully achieved! I myself learning the art of props! XD lol

Thanks again for the memories & I’ll be sending photos to all once the films developed

See you for "Living Together" Auditions if not before!

I had seen the film and wondered how, with limited resources, a rural drama group would stage the production. Well,  I left after the performance on Saturday finding it difficult to come back to real life. The production and the acting had me completely  engaged every minute. From the first few seconds Jack was CS Lewis for me and Joy  equalled this when she appeared later. The performance didn’t falter at any point and I was so pleased to have experienced such a moving production. Congatulations and thank you to every one involved   … and Paddy for his phone call telling me not to miss this!

A great finale on Saturday night. Well done to the drama group for taking on such a 'meaty' production and pulling it off with such finesse. What a shame some of Mike's perfectly delivered monologues were ruined by one member of the audience who took more interest in unwrapping their sweets VERY LOUDLY than listening to what he was saying.

I caught the Friday performance of Shadowlands - and found it the most emotionally engaging and draining performance I have ever seen! Huge kudos to the two leads, who both did a fantastic job. Mike D was particularly good at transforming himself into the character - I became very attached to Jack.

The emotionally intimate scenes were done to a professional standard; during some of them I found myself feeling like I was intruding, and they were almost too personal to watch!

The backstage gang were very smooth, and overall it was a brilliant production - well done to cast and crew! I'm looking forward to when the WDG next tackles something this heavy

Congratulations, all of you! A brilliant evening if your really wanted your heart rended.A well balanced cast with clear well controlled emotion. A special mention for "Douglas" - you stood up well to the Old Masters. Well done too, to the busy scene shifters and a smooth old wardrobe. We can'twait for the next play, they get better every time..
