JAMIE REVISION

INTRO BULLET POINTS

• ETAJ was a fantastic MT performance that I watched on the 7th of September 2024 digitally

• All the actors successfully used naturalistic acting and their [performance skills] to effectively…

• However, [1 or 2] of these characters stood out to me; John Mcrea as Jamie New [and Josie Walker] as Jamies Mother (Margaret New)

• This musical was skilfully directed by Johnathon Butterell to encompass key themes of family, societal bias and prejudice

• I thought this musical was brilliantly entertaining and would recommend this to others.
