Super entertainment from Brede Players

Robinson Crusoe – The Pantomime, Brede Village Hall, Saturday, January 12. Review by Graeme Dinning.

The Brede Players annual show was in essence a traditional panto with principal boy, Robinson, played by Nancy Worthington, doing battle with the evil pirate Captain Hand (Mike Bendell), over the lost treasure of One-eyed Willam.

The show was run on Friday night and Saturday afternoon & evening with the latter two performances played to a full house. The cast included a fabulously gruff dame in the form of Richard Grant, the sweet but frighteningly tough Polly, ably portrayed by Katherine Fry, Verity Page both directing the action and as the comic lead, Billy Crusoe and Mary Barrett as the easily confused Squire.
