   I had booked to take our two sons to see this production 4 March 1981 and thought we might cancel because the birth of our third son was due two weeks earlier, but then he was late and only arrived by caesarian 3 March 1981 – all went well so I took my two sons to see Hiawatha 4 March 1981 and we were all blown away by this stunning production.
   A year later, with a repeat at the Olivier, I helped organise my primary school to take the whole class – everyone was thrilled.
   We do wish the NT would put on more classic productions for young people – why not Hiawatha again for another generation?

   For Some reason there is no character for James Castle who was in the original cast and seems to have been forgotten .. I worked on the show both in the Oliver Theatre and on tour in Hong Kong, for two weeks , and James was in both..James ( Jim) Carter was the narrator but I’m a little confused as to why James Castle has been completely missed out .

   In response to Geoffrey Butlin’s comment . The National Theatre has in fact done many shows for children including The Ancient Mariner , The Pied Piper and the wonderful Wind in the Willows .. All of which I was fortunate enough to work on .. plus at least one pantomime in the L.yttleton Theatre.
