It’s
that time of year again – oh yes it is! On Sunday we were back at
the TADS theatre in Toddington for this year’s pantomime. ‘Sleeping
Beauty’ was written and directed by TADS stalwarts Sue and David
Sachon. This was a magical and charming rendition of the traditional
fairy story with all the usual pantomimic elements in evidence. It
was an excellently acted and impressively produced show which
thrilled an audience packed with very young children. (Though it’s
interesting to note that handing out sweets to the audience always
makes for the most exciting moment of the afternoon!) In a large cast
Judy Palmer’s gormless palace guard, Emily Venn’s twinkly fairy
godmother and the ever-wonderful Janet Bray (as both a guard and a
fairy) stood out for me. And it was great to see Leanne Lyndsey White
– who was excellent as Audrey in the TADS production of Little Shop
of Horrors earlier this year (reviewed here in May 2013) – giving
another impressive performance as Prince Ferdinand.
