Harvest Supper Entertainment

organised by Vicky Burden and directed by Audrey Gannaway

13th October 2007

 

              

 

 

Extracts from the Gauntlet review “Harvest Supper at the Village Hall”

 

The entertainment was “vintage”. It started with “Time Warp”, featuring Napolean (Alan Glynne Jones) and Josephine (Vanessa Sharpe), who kept us all in hoots of laughter as the act ended with the immortal words “Not tonight, Josephine”.

 

Then Chris Hall gave a splendid rendition of Hilaire Belloc’s Matilda – again much laughter – so we were all in the mood for the final entertainment “A Trouble Shared” which the MC for the evening, Chris Hall, explained had been complicated by two people (Bob Pritchard and Vicky Burden) both playing the same part of the village suitor and each initially appearing from behind the tree, one at a time. As Sue Jackson was explaining to Lesley Evans that Squire Atkins (Nigel Coleman) had designs on her, more often than not both suitors came out and it all ended with the squire being rejected and Sue going off with both suitors, much to everyone’s amusement.
