Previous Next Terry Chandler Terry Chandler was a very well-known figure throughout Manchester dramatics, and the theatre is very proud that he called the Garrick "home". He performed on the Garrick stage many times, and will always be remembered for the role of Albin in La Cage Aux Folles , which became his after only the first of his 8 separate performances in that show. Terry also served on the Executive Committee, and directed many plays and musicals at the Garrick and elsewhere. He won awards from NODA and GMDF both for acting and directing, and NODA established "The Terry Chandler Award for Best All Round Performer" in his memory. Terry died tragically too early, of a heart attack in 2008, leaving his wife Anne and daughter Laura to carry on his support for the Garrick. See also this tribute from the Manchester Evening News.

Are you tired of all the doom and gloom? If the answer to these questions is yes, I think I might be able to help. Dick Barton and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Tomb is an evening of unbridled silliness, with puns and clever comedy songs inspired by familiar favourites. Charlie Cook's production goes off like a bullet from a gun and the enthusiasm of the cast certainly transmitted to the Altrincham Garrick audience on Tuesday night. This theatre boasts many fine actors but it's always exciting to come across a new talent. Kieran Buckeridge is charismatic and likeable as Barton, the most English of heroes. Laura Chandler is absolutely brilliant as the villainess of the piece, Marta Heartburn. Her singing voice is equally impressive and versatile. Richard Sails is also very good value as the other baddie, Piggy. The humour in this laugh out loud spoof is of the saucy, seaside postcard/Carry On variety and this is the sort of show you could take both granny and older kids to see. Each member of the cast makes the most of every line and I feel bad about singling out individual performances because there aren't any bad ones. The cast exhibit a sense of timing that the professionals would be envious of. Enjoy. Star Rating ★★★★
