(Adi
Paxton & Heather Barclay-Whiffin)
Versatile entertainers bring all their
considerable skills an experience to bear to produce a delightful and funny
story which kept the children in the audience enthralled and entertained until
the end. (Review by Keith Millar)
Durban’s Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo enters
its third week of exciting holiday productions for children with the entertaining
Double Trouble – A Clown Adventure.
The show features popular Durban
entertainer Adi Paxton as her alter ego, Cherry the Clown. Cherry is joined on
this occasion by her friend Dilly, played by Heather Barclay-Whiffin.
The two clowns are being harassed by the
evil Mad Magician, Malevelo. He is wants to put an end all happiness and
laughter in the world and is determined to stop the clowns from bringing joy to
the children.
Cherry and Dilly, however, are too clever
for Malevelo and with plenty of magic tricks, riddles and enthusiastic vocal
help from the children in the audience are able to thwart his evil plans and
get rid of him forever.
Paxton and Barclay- Whiffin are both very
versatile entertainers and have considerable experience in children’s theatre.
In Double Trouble – A Clown Adventure,
they bring all their considerable skills and experience to bear to produce a
delightful and funny story which kept the children in the audience enthralled
and entertained until the end
Equally enjoyed was the colouring in
competition which followed the show.
My co-reviewer. seven year old Landon, gave
the show a double thumbs-up.

Trouble - A Clown Adventure can be seen at the
