The Bentley Players came together again and
presented their interpretation of
Cinderella. We
received a warm welcome back to the stage of the village hall from
the audiences. Colin Allington played a popular cameo role of
removing a wheelie bin 'not for Cinders' from the stage. This
wheelie bin also hid Glenn Last and his water pistol from
the unsuspecting members of the cast. This was the last year
for Mary Naunton and her advice and support will be missed.
Rehearsals were now held at Mark & Sue Ward's home.
Our willing support group was Ted Poole stage manager, Roger
and Sandra Canning who had repainted the scenery, Keith Philips
sounds and lighting and Cynthia Cripps music. At the end of
the final performance a donation of £100 was presented to Bentley
School.
The cast in order of appearance were David Phillips, Ted Poole,
Mary Naunton, Peter Bingham, Mark Naunton, Sue Ward, Victoria
Osborne (played two roles) Karen Lightfoot.
