What do you get when you cross a photographer with a dentist? Answer:a good night’s entertainment for all the family. Bim Bollard, (photographer), and Mark Neal, (dentist) delighted audiences with their production of “Barry Potter and the Chamber Pot of Secrets”. With Ann Gillingham in command as the narrator J.K. Rollover the audience were soon […]
Ali Baba, a Pantomime by Alexa Romanes. All the usual Panto stuff, villains, hero’s, scantily clad maids, a talking camel and forty thieves – well nearly. Mixed together by director Nigel Gillingham into a very enjoyable and traditional show, Oh yes it.
The Ozzard of Wiz was written by Bim Bollard and James Harper and directed by Nigel Gillingham. Some people say it was rubbish and we know who they are and where they live, but the truth is of course that it was another resounding success.
James Blonde, a classic Pantomime character played with a suitable sneer by Dave Scott, led the field in another off the wall show directed and written by Bim Bollard and Mark Neal. The plot is to stop Goldfinker’s evil plan for world domination and win the heart of glamorous double agent Pussy L’amour, and I […]
Surely the best Panto and Panto villain ever, well I would say that wouldn’t I. Although, this was a most excellent show and it’s not often you see Carol Vodaphone, Bob Monkeyhouse, Under Were Wolf, Batman, Robin and Dracula on the same billing. Needless to say it was another Bim production.
This was billed as a traditional family Pantomime, written by Bill Smale and directed by Anne Broom. I have no pictures for this show and although my name is in the cast list I have no memories of it. So if your memory is better than mine or you have some photos then please get […]
Babes in the Wood was another Pantomime written by Alexa Romanes, unfortunately I only have the one picture, but fortunately it is of me, as for the rest of the show – well I think the crit sums it up very nicely.
Cinderella II, (The Undoing of Buttons). I could tell you what I thought but the newspaper article does it much better, I know me and the other hoses had great fun with our parts, but that’s another story.
Fatman and Blobbin (And the Exploding Custard Pie machine).Ticket holders were turned away at the door according to the newspaper cutting, not good PR and not good for the customers as they missed another cracking Pantomime by Bim. James Mann played James Mann, a part he wrestled with but finally came up with a passable […]
Goldilocks and the Three Bears, produced and directed by Mike North. I know no more about this show so if you have any information to contribute then please get in touch.
Another sandy mason pantomime directed by Pat Berry. Once again, some more photos would be nice.
Now the sight of seven men entering the Town Hall on their knees and singing Hi Ho was really quite hilarious, If anyone has a picture of that then please do let me know – or any other photos would be good.
Jack and the Beanstalk was directed by Pat Berry. I only have the one photo, so if you have some more please let me know.
Another Pantomime written by Patsy Wills. We are missing a programme and some better pictures and I think Abanazer is wearing his King costume from the nativity.
Another Patsy Powlesland pantomime and this time with a price reduction to 60p, and still with a cup of tea. Using a back drop of the shops of Bovey Tracey this show had a very local feel to it. This was a local show for local people, (and their friends).
The Players first ever Pantomime written by Patsy Powlesland. This was great fun to be in, if only for the fact we all got to say, “oh no he isn’t” for the first time on stage, and dress up as merry men. I played Dicken, the character in the white hat (which was in fact […]
