Unfortunately we have had to cancel next month’s production of My Friend Miss Flint. It was the only sensible thing to do, what with one thing and another. Much as we try to provide a bit of escapism for ourselves and our audiences, sometimes real life has a nasty way of refusing to be ignored.…

Our first two performances of Dick Whittington and his Cat have flown by in the blink of an eye and now there’s only today’s matinee and evening performance to go. The rehearsals earlier in the week went well, but having live audiences to play to brought the best out of all of the cast and…
