PROGRAMME

Snow White and the a pantomime written by Jo Smith directed by Pru Harrold Performed by Headley Theatre Club at Headley Village Hall 14, 15 & 21, 22 January 2005

Welcome — to Headley Theatre Club’s fifty-third season…

… and surprisingly, according to our records, we’ve only ‘done’ once before in all that time. The Snow White of that performance has graduated (lapsed, degenerated, fallen) to be this year’s Wicked Queen – in pantomime that’s how it goes! You probably know the plot – Walt Disney made sure of that – but in our version the mirror’s right off the wall! Before we expose you to our fragile friend, though, we’d like you to meet a couple of Renaissance men. It’s time to go, don’t you know, when Mac and Leo start the show…

6 Cast Notes

Bethany Arnott (Dozy) Too much noise – that’s the problem. Carly Barbey (Snow White) Some day my prints will come! Ruth Beasley (Dee) They look a bit untidy to me. Lee Carter (Maxwell’s supporter) No problem, learning lines. Isabelle Glinn (Beaky) Where will we find trout in the middle of the forest? Peter Glinn (Leonardo) Solving the Da Vinci Code at last! Sam Hampson (Dave) I think we need a small reality check. Pru Harrold (Director) If only you’d make that much noise on the stage! Ashleigh Keech (Lisa) I’m not really a moaner! Helen Keech (Mick) Who said ‘tiny miners’? Paul Kosinski (Subito) Ah, Bisto! Jo Levy (Musical Director) Sol-fa, so good! Laurie Lewis (Minestrone) I am quite a dish, don’t you think? Don’t you? John McGregor (The King) The Queen put it a little stronger than that. Penny McKay (Festa) I’ve not come to talk about names. Matthew Powell (James) Entrepreneur in an entirely legitimate profession. Daniel Radford (Maxwell’s supporter) Wot, no Silver Hammer? Chloe Shrubb (Fidelio, the Prince) This must be a strange land indeed. Jamie Stickler (Maxwell the Mirror) I don’t do impossible. Nick Webb (Machiavelli) I am a bad man – everybody tells me so. Dil Williamson (The Queen) I wish to indulge in some reflective therapy. Daisy Whillians (Titch) Well, yes, it’s legal.
