Some of the cast of 'Cuckoo' by Emlyn Williams.
Mr. Bob Anderson produced this year’s Spring Play, which was ‘Cuckoo’ by Emlyn Williams. This production was staged over two nights, Friday 17th and Saturday 18th April in Portadown Town Hall. Spoiled and cosseted over the years by her devoted mother, Cuckoo’s future is thrown into crisis by the death of Mam. But it’s not just Cuckoo’s future which then becomes doubtful – what of sister Lydia’s plans to marry wealthy Jerome, and those of her aunt Madam, and the physically disabled Uncle Powell? First produced at Guildford with Rosemary Leach in the title role, this absorbing and touching play reveals the hidden depths in the woman who has always been treated as a child.
Robinson Crusoe was our 26th Pantomime, and ran for 14 shows in Portadown Town Hall from Thursday, 15th January 2009. This swash buckling adventure story received very favourable reviews. Already plans are being put into place for next years pantomime and if you want to be involved let us know.
