| "1066 and All That" was a
"memorable" Double Act production to round up the Millennium Year. It was the most ambitious show musically that we have done and the
first few weeks of interminable "Going Home" paid off in the long run. It also
involved the most costume and character changes which were all coped with admirably. The
audience participation and appreciation was exceptional and to crown it all the profits of
over £800 were phenomenal - so all in all, a show of superlatives that any amateur group
could be proud of.
I think the thing I enjoyed most was seeing some members
young and old improving dramatically before my eyes, which took further leaps forward once
into costume and then with the added adrenaline surge of an audience, pushed into new
realms. Certainly an event to go down in the "annals of history" - which it now
has as a page in the Millennium diary for Corfe Castle.
Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to make it
the undoubted success it was. |
