The following
review for 'HATS in 3D' was submitted by our NODA
Eastern Area rep Michael Williamson for the Spring 2011
edition of 'NODA Eastern Area News':
 "I
am still a little uncertain about whether this production was in 3D,
2D or 4D but there is no doubt that this comedy drama group always
come up with something original and a little mad! Very suitable for
Hatters I suppose? This was described as a ‘unique extravaganza:
In your face’ and consisted of a clever mixture of projection and
live action. Some of the sketches were rather familiar; others
recalled past productions by HATS but all were presented with
enthusiasm, commitment and that special brand of HATS humour. I
wasn’t sure about some of the origins but I particularly liked the
‘Short History of Visual Comedy’ which was well presented and
perfectly timed. I also enjoyed the concept of ‘The Birds’.
However, it seems inappropriate to single out individual sections
or, indeed, individual performances. The talented cast of nine
worked extremely hard to maintain atmosphere and pace and all are to
be congratulated on a very enjoyable evening. Kevin, James and
Giselle, as both directors and performers, are excellent comedy
actors and their sense of timing is impeccable. The overall
presentation was also slick and professional. This is clearly a team
of people who have as much fun together off stage as on and the
strong teamwork shines through. I look forward to the long awaited
Comedy Horror when it finally reaches the stage. I hope that it will
be in Cinemascope. Finally a word of praise for the programme which
is always a good comedy read in itself and was, once again, very
well presented and original".
