Neville’s Island – A Superb Production
Posted on May 3, 2011 | No CommentsNeville’s Island was superb from start to finish with four excellent actors, Neville played by Rob Fisher, Angus played by John Sugden, Gordon played by Simon Phillips and last but by no means least Roy played by Rich Harris.

It was memorable with the sparklers and fire on stage, the […] -
