’TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE A CHRISTMAS CAROL

TOWNLEY MEMORIAL HALL 16 DEC

Finding himself again in Fulbourn after last year’s performance of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, Olivier award-winning producer Guy Masterson will offer up his rendering of Charles Dickens’ festive ghost story A Christmas Carol on 16 December at 7.30pm. Using only a chair and a raincoat, Guy crowds the stage with the various characters which populate the grisly tale, from the malevolent Marley to the spine-chilling ghouls of past, present and future. With music from Robb Williams and a script by Nick Hennegan, this nostalgic yarn will light up the Townley Memorial Hall stage.

ROUND ROBIN THE LEGEND OF ROBIN HOOD

Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, a Robin Hood romp will play out at the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds from 25 November to 14 January. With Chris Clarkson returning to don the panto dame wig for his sixth year running, expect big laughs from local baker Little Joan. Craig Painting will star as the Sheriff of Nottingham – the arch-nemesis of Robin Hood, played by Samuel Knight. Also among Robin’s bandits is Major Maureen McTavish, played by Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Nerine Skinner. Find unlawfully fun musical numbers and tights aplenty, as the prince of thieves contends with the sheriff to save the people of Nottingham.
