Here is the review of our 2010 show Oklahoma! taken from the NODA Scotland magazine.
Review by John Urquhart, Area 7 representative

What a great show this was!  How did Markinch manage to get so many people on stage without it looking crowded?  Certainly the lower height rostra at the front was used to good effect and the wonderful back cloth had such an illusion of depth. Congratulations to the scenic artists!  The principal work was all of an exceptionally high standard.  Jason Roseweir sang and acted Curly beautifully.  He was ably partnered by Kirsty Anderson who made a fine Laurey.  Derek Walker brought great comedy and timing to the part of Will Parker and Laura Paterson was a memorable Ado Annie.  Scott Smeaton was a definitive Jud and Craig Spence hit all the right spots with his portrayal of Ali Hakim.  The chorus attacked all their numbers with great gusto, particularly during ‘The Farmer and the Cowman’, which was certainly a high point.  I also really enjoyed the staging of the ballet.  A really enjoyable show.  It was good to see so many men on stage.
