Our pantomime for 2003 was "Ali Baba and the Four Thieves" written by Vincent Costello and directed by Shelagh Fagan. The budget was vast, but did not quite run to forty thieves.
It was the traditional story of the Cave, Open Semame, the Treasure and the Thieves hiding in the jars. Ali went from rags to riches and found love on the way, helped by his eccentric camel Humphrey. There was a large and lively cast with exuberant performances from the youth members. Added to all this were guest apperarances from Bob the Builder, Trinny and Susanna, and a respectable Ali Genie. The technical support was, as always, excellent, and the property list was as long as your arm - including the inevitable cakey bakey ingredients and a mysterious Pritt Stick.
