Events: January 2010 Archives

Sherry Forbes at Manor House Stables, Martin is running a series of craft workshops between February and April. Initially, all will be 1-day courses which will start from between 9.30-10.00am and continue all day with a special home-made lunch and a glass of our own special apple wine, finishing about 4.30-5.30pm (depending on course). The maximum number of people on the workshops will be small (4 to 8) to ensure everyone has time to create something special to take home. The cost will range from £15 to £55 per person and will include materials plus lunch, tea, coffee and wine. The aim is to have fun and learn new skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

A specially written tale of high jinks on the high seas and a race between pirate ships to find the treasure, complete with all the usual panto personalities and features. To be performed at Metheringham and by their special invitation at Sleaford Little Theatre.

February 5th and 6th Metheringham Village Hall
February 13th Sleaford Little Theatre

"Arr" annual pantomime this year takes inspiration from Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan and any other pirate related fiction you care to think of. Pirate Treasure is written and directed by Ingrid Burns who made her writing and directing debut last year.

MAD's 18th consecutive pantomime is a typical tale of good against evil for all the family to feel a part of. Jimlad Golightly and his mother Semolina aquire a treasure map in lieu of payment from ne'er do well Pegleg Pete. They persuade Squire Le Tawny to finance an expedition to search for the treasure and set sail on the Sea Slug. The fly in the ointment is the villainess Captain Jack Vulture who once had the map and wants it back so sets sail in pursuit with her all female crew on the Black Oyster. Both ships are repeatedly harassed by Minnie Strater, the rat from Health and Safety, and there are various confrontations as all parties close in on the treasure island. Will Jim Lad be able to marry his true love? Will One Eyed Kate get her Justin? Will Semolina marry her squire? and most importantly will anyone get any treasure?

Music, laughter, the cute chorus, all the usual panto gags and fabulous costumes make for a lively colourful performance for all the family to enjoy. Many of MAD's usual favourites including Graeme Pembery and Gaynor Little will be performing alongside newer talent such as Niall Davidson-Petch as the Dame.

Ingrid Burns made her writing and directing debut with Arthur Pendragon and the Sword of Destiny last year and the same team are working to produce another triumph for everyone to enjoy.
