MCTC Babes in the Woods Production

30/6/2019

 
PictureCostume designer Gwynn van den Bergen and Producer Steve Lane.



​Once again Steve Lane  and
Gwynn van den Bergen somehow managed
to take the amateur Moonambel
fun loving mob and manipulate their talents
to produce a magnificent and
very entertaining pantomime.

PictureFairy Agnes (Kaye Hutton) with her charges Bart (Robyn Akers) and Lisa (Mick Matthews)
For a start,
most of the cast was

in role reversal.

How hilarious to see
'the Babes',

Bart and Lisa, with 
​Fairy Agnes casting her spells
'protecting' them.
​
As for Carmen Gettit,
​the Cook,

who could resist her charms (and food!).

​                                                                                  Of course everyone loved
the hero, Robin, and his Merry Men.
His love interest, Maid Marion, was
​sooooo delightful!

It wouldn't be a pantomime without the villains.
​They were very skilfully played by some of the female members of the cast.

​

















Special mention should be made
of Graeme Akers, the Minstrel,
who who sang ditties between acts. Graeme also composed this amusing entertainment for the performance.

​
​All was saved by King Richard, of course,
who rewarded his subjects
for their loyalty to him.
So everyone, except the Sheriff of course,
was able to live happily ever after.

​Sigh....
The end
