REVIEWS
"Tonight’s second Early Fest show ‘Suspects’ is a hilarious comedy whodunnit by Morven Robinson and Jaydon Nolan. We’re delighted to see that it has been directed by Stage and Screener Matthew Roddis. The direction is superb. And Robinson and Nolans’ delivery is pitch perfect!"
"Well done and massive thank you to Matthew Roddis brilliant enthusiastic director couldn’t have done it with out you!"
In 2022, Matthew directed the NODA North East Friday Night Cabaret, POP Goes the Musical, at its prestigious conference in Bridlington. Bringing together pop songs with a musical theatre edge, he gave a standing and dancing ovation to the people who know theatre the best. This performance was done in just two, eight hour, rehearsals.
