Referees
David Thacker, Artistic Director of the Octagon Bolton about 'Dorian Gray':"I saw Pamela Schermann's production of 'Dorian Gray' (July 2011, Cockpit Theatre) and I was extremely impressed with her work as a director. It was her own adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel and it combined the text with music and physical elements to create a thrilling and visually stunning piece of theatre. I believe that this production has a potential for further development and I do hope that she will have the opportunity to move this very interesting project forward!"
