”...a Spring 2024 production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic, staged by VAMPS of St Neots, Cambridgeshire, presented audiences with a beautiful new dimension that they will likely remember for a long time. Through the clever artistry and handiwork of deputy stage manager and set designer, the large, but plain, performance hall at St Neots’ Priory Centre, a former Benedictine monastery, recaptured vestiges of a place of worship: Natalie crafted six mock ‘stained glass’ windows to hang high on the hall’s side walls. Each colourfully depicted a different scene from the show, such as the novice Maria’s joyous day in the hills, Captain von Trapp’s military-style review of his children, nuns deep in prayer by candlelight and Maria entertaining the young von Trapp's with her guitar, to name a few.”
