Syresham Church Fete Yo ho ho …it’s the Saturday 8th June 2.00—4.00pm Peter Pan Panto! Since moving to Syresham in 2015 we have heard a lot about the infamous village Panto! Many of the friends we have made here are part of the Take Your Seats team but for one reason or another (February halfterm holidays and a slightly Pantophobic child) this would be our first year in Classic Cars, Tennis, Skittles, Preloved toys and attendance! So off we all headed games, Cakes, Ice Cream teas, BricaBrac, Plants and James (husband), Jack (7), Charlotte Produce, Bouncy Castle, Bottle Stall, Raffle. (4) and myself (Caroline), to the new At the Priory, Syresham 9 village hall for the Saturday

7 afternoon matinee performance… all very exciting! And we weren’t to be disappointed. The famous fairytale was faithfully told, with local jokes cleverly woven in along side everyone’s favourite panto bits... Big laughs, a hearty dollop of innuendo, great song and dance routines, beautiful costumes and some truly impressive solo performances ...all the ingredients for a fabulous family outing. The opening scene was beautifully set in the Darling’s nursery with a brilliant dance and a chorus of toys coming to life. We were then introduced to the mischievous Peter Pan (Hannah Godwin), the fabulously deadpan Tink (Ruth Harris), Wendy (Nicole Read) and her brothers John (Luca Berry) and Michael (Mason Bull)… and the marvellous, Dametastic Nanny Fanny Cranny (Mike Maund). There’s always something a little bit magical when the cast of a panto start to fly and this one was no exception with Peter Pan, Wendy et al taking to the skies of Syresham and setting forth for Neverland with some very clever special effects! It was there that the swashbuckling adventures ensued and we met the suitably dastardly Captain Hook (Kieron Darby), the hapless but loveable Smee (Amanda Bull) and the rest of his motley crew. This hilarious duo provided one of the best comedy bits for my 7 year old son, with Hook and the ladies underpants scene. Nicole was a natural Wendy, with a super voice duetting with Peter to deliver, one of my highlights along with the fantastic Bohemian Rhapsody tribute. There was much alarm and concern for poor Tink’s welfare from both children at the start of the interval... was she in fact actually really dead? Was that it? How could she possibly ever recover having consumed the poison? After a good deal of reassurance that the Syresham Panto would probably not take such a dark turn and several chocolate Freddos provided by the well stocked tuck shop ... and a small bottle of Prosecco for me ... all was well again. I think one of Charlotte’s high points was being called up on stage along with other children in the audience to perform “Baby Croc” with the Parrot (Liz Mountain) ... I was a bit concerned that there might be another “scene” when I realised that the fearsome Tick Tocking Croc (Matt Powell) would be joining my daughter on the stage but her inner professionalism took over and disaster was thankfully averted. The cast clearly love putting on these shows and their natural chemistry translated into a brilliantly funfilled performance on stage. How amazing that in a small village, we are not only lucky enough to have such a fabulous venue on our doorstep but all those wonderfully talented people willing to give up their time to put on such a fabulous show for us all to enjoy! A big thank you to all the cast and crew at Take Your Seats… The Ferguson Family, Bell Lane For Photos—see centre pages…. 7
