Wadham Players celebrated their 11th annual
open-air show with a return to Curtis Mill Green. The natural
surroundings of Dick Williams' Willow Cottage venue were an
ideal setting.
Stephen Jacobs (Merlin) controlled his
corner with quiet force. Lee Ocsko's Arthur was energetic and
colourful and David Baker was a confident young Galahad. Elaine
Elliott a majestic and malevolent Morganna in search of the Holy
Grail. Alison Rhodes and Rose Floyd made their mark as Guinevere
and Dindarane. Mark Simons, Matt Mitchell and Will Chapman
impressed vocally and Bob Gray did a double act, particularly
entertaining as Creep the Messenger. Costumes were designed and
made by Christine Powell. The general atmosphere of magic
enveloped the audience in this mythical tale. Michael Michael
directed and produced with his usual sagacity. The dragon, a
creation of Andy B, breathed smoke and fire. Light and sound was
designed and controlled by David Mason and Christopher Powell.
