A Pantomime by Jane Scott
The Barford Drama Group production of ‘Cinderella’ (written and directed by Jane Scott) was a pantomime performed on February 26th 27th and 28th 2016 in Barford Memorial Hall. Appearing with Cinderella were all the usual characters: the Ugly Sisters, Buttons and, of course, the Fairy Godmother – and there was plenty of opportunities for audience participation. However there was a twist in this tale!
There were evening performances on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th at 7.30 pm. and matinees on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th at 3 pm. Refreshments were on sale in the interval and there was a licenced bar at the evening performances.
Tickets – £7 evenings and £5 matinees.
