DYNAMO Youth Theatre provided its answer to the credit crunch with a comedy double to lighten the mood without weighing down the pocket.
Yasmin Langley and Helen Moyles, directors of Ernie's Incredible Illucinations, brought a fresh perspective and introduced inventive touches.
They were blessed by an enthusiastic cast and an engaging central performance by Barney Walsh. The impact and humour were blunted, however, by pacing.
The older DYT members had great fun with Whodidit? a spoof country house murder mystery story.
This was a sharply paced and slickly executed piece with some great visual jokes.
James Diprose (Inspector Story) and Sonny Baker (Uncle) made the strongest impression and stole some of the biggest laughs. An enjoyable antidote to the economic gloom.
