Hi I'm George..... Deal with it...
Yes I know I'm out of my mind... But it's dark, scary and lonely in there and I don't want to go back...

George Riddell : "Sings a little, acts a little, dances only when threatened" thinks they should have an "open season" on choreographers. Hates dancing but they keep insisting he does it....

Loves being creative and writes poems, pantomimes and working on several musicals and scripts :-
If your group is looking for a Director who's fresh (can't get any fresher than me...), bursting with ideas ( can't get any more bursting than me...) and willing to give ANYTHING a try (can't get more trying than... err... hmmm...) then drop me a line.

In June 2000, George was asked to be a guest singer at the Annual "Stephen Sondheim" Society concert in Windsor.
Which he sang "Nothing's Going To Harm You" from "Sweeney Todd", "What Do We Do? We Fly!" from "Do I Hear a
Waltz?" and the duet "Thinking" from "Do I Hear a Waltz?" with Bridget Seddon.

Jack and the Beanstalk (Beggar again)
South Pacific (Emile)
CALAMITY JANE (Director / Silent Movie Director and Effects)
The NODA report said the following... :-
"The proof of all the hard work, before during rehearsals, was there
for all to see. George had enthused his cast
a) to enjoy themselves
b) believe in themselves, so that this was a show to remember.
His enthusiasm and outlook for the show worked. The pace was good, the
changing of the staging worked well, I thought. The use of the auditorium for
the Black Hills of Dakota was appreciated by the audience, as was the
silent filming of the rescue.
Congratulations to George, I hope we will see more of you as a director. It
is one of the best productions of Calamity Jane that I have seen in
my 12 years as NODA rep in this area."

Also presenting impressive parterships were Lisa Martin and George Riddell, while Jean Frost struggled, almost
in vain, to rid Bill of his cockney rhyming slang.
Beryl Cooper was a flamboyant Pearly Queen, while Peter Murray added to the slapstick as the family solicitor.
The chorus was fully involved throughout, choreography was excellent and the costumes colourfully exotic, in one of
the best productions from this company." (Cantabile - Reading Chronicle)
Princess Ida (Cyril)
Fiddler On The Roof (Fyedka)
Pirates Of Penzance (Fredderic - 3 times EBOS/GRIMMS/WOODLEY)

Where everyone else was rushing around, George was delivering his lines at funereal pace - and winning
many of the biggest laughs from the admittedly rather small audience.
Undertaker (slowly): "It's too late, it's too late."
Solicitor (quickly): "Too late for what?"
Undertaker (even more slowly): "It's always too late..."
It may not be Shakespeare but it certainly comes close to Morcambe and Wise."
