The
show, written by Malcolm
Henty and Beth Wood,
raised over £450
which is being split
between the Church and
CRY.
From the
minute Callum Wood
brilliantly opened the
show with “Lets Dance”
the audience were
treated to a packed
programme of songs,
sketches, dance and
poems. Jess Spiller and
Shelby West kept the
show moving with their
narration and poems.
Everyone
played their parts as
the cast went through
some old favourites from
their previous shows as
well as introducing many
new characters such as
Dames Unhinged and
Crackit, superbly
portrayed by Jared
Stevens and David
Goodhew, and Gordon the
Gorilla.
Amongst
the many highlights were
the sketches where Noah
told his wife of the
forthcoming flood; and
the modern day version
of the Three Wise (Wo)men
on their way to
Bethlehem. Another
one saw the two old
dames installed as
Headmistress and PE
mistress of St Trinian's
school.
Beth Wood and Pacha
Woodland both did solos
and Megan Spiller along
with Katie Walker read
the moving poem “Life
before the War” to the
backing of the Leonard
Cohen song “The
Partisan”.
The local vicar, Gavin,
did a slot before the
break with his
Beatboxing and he also
joined the cast in an
unrehearsed version of
"Jailhouse Rock" to
close the show.
Several
of the cast will be in
action again at the
Axmouth Village Hall
Christmas Bazaar on
Saturday 27th
November where they will
be doing some Christmas
songs.
They will also be
involved in a Variety
Show with a meal next
April to raise funds for
their next production
which will be in October
2011.
The cast and backstage
crew would like to thank
Matt and Dave of
Alexander Paul Antiques
for their sponsorship;
and also Gary and Toni
of The Harbour Inn for
providing them all with
suppers after the show.
