"Mother Goose" by Ben Crocker (5-9 Dec 2023)
Poster
Welcome once again to St Michael’s Players’ world famous pantomime. Another cracking script from Ben Crocker with extra goodness from Cecilia and others of the cast and crew. Mother Goose is a triumph of teamwork and I want to publicly express my deepest appreciation to the entire cast, band and crew for their commitment to the cause and their patience and skill managing a deranged director. I love you all.
I’ll tell you who else I love. You, our amazing world famous audience. All the panto-fantasmagorical-ness in the world is but for naught without an enthusiastic audience cheering us on. Sounds like the perfect recipe for yet another wonderful night together. There’s everything you need for a rousing start to the Christmas festivities and I hope you enjoy the production as much as we enjoy bringing it to you. |
