Live at last

Unfortunately we had to cancel the first performance of the Valley Theatre Pantomime: Robyn Hood, due to a family bereavement. We finally got under way with our panto season last Thursday, though. A good sized audience saw everything finally (thankfully) come together as the cast moved things along at a cracking pace. In fact the pace was so fast at some points that whole sections were skipped, causing a wailing and a gnashing of teeth from the author! They must have been in a hurry to get to the pub! Anyway next week's performance is just about sold out so your best bet if you haven't booked already is to go for one of the two January performances.

Elsewhere (time never stands still at the Valley) the cast started rehearsals for a new play from the pen (or should that be keyboard?) of Graham Rhodes - Dancing on a Table in Montmartre - modestly described by the author as the best thing he's ever done. You be the judge...
