Panto Selection

It's time to choose the Panto for New Year 06-07.

At 7.30pm on Tuesday 6 June, we'll be choosing between two possibilities, both written by members of the group...

The Little Mermaid
by Shauntelle Benjamin and Jackie Braithwaite

Shauntelle writes: "It's the story of Ariel (ahem) Lenor, as we all know it, with all the trimmings reaching from Queen Queenie with her somewhat rough around the edges son Rocky, to Dither and Frank, Lenor's fishy sidekicks."

Ali Baba and the Four Tea Leaves
by Thos Ribbits

A version of the Forty Thieves story, but with fewer thieves to help out with the Woodhouse budget!

We'll be reading through sample scenes, talking about the writers' ideas for how their show could be produced. All members are very welcome to come and ask questions and contribute to the outcome, either by consensus or if necessary by a vote.

We should have chosen by 9pm, at which point there are auditions for Liz Braithwaite's radio version of Under Milk Wood. Bring a Welsh accent (or near equivalent) to also participate in that!
