This Pantomime was again written and adapted by Rowland and Joan and what a fine job they did.  It was good to see two newcomers in the principal roles in the shape of Emma McEnaney and Carole-Ann Wilson as Prince John and Princess Beauty respectively, and they both looked good and worked well together.

At the other end of the scale there were very good performances from two stalwarts of the society with Valerie Hopper and Neville Wanless as Queen Anastasia and King Cecil. 

The humour was again amply provided by Joanna Wingate and Rob Smith, as Fuddles and Muddles and they truly lived up to their name.  Lisa Bond was a particularly nasty Carabosse, being roundly booed on every entrance.  I must mention the three Fairies, Cheryl Moody, Jenny McGuire and Christina Carmichael as Thunday, Merryweather and Crystal whom I particularly enjoyed.  The other principals, chorus and dancers combined to give a superb evening's entertainment.  Well done to all concerned.

It was a particular pleasure to be able to present NODA Long Service Awards at the end of the show.
