Sleeping Beauty, 25th to 26th June
This version of the old tale has all the traditional features, plus some new twists bringing a few extra characters into the action. In the Land of Nod, King Nun the Wiser and Queen Nell celebrate the birth of their daughter Princess Crystal, joined by a retinue of Good Fairies, their loyal butler Rip Van Winkle and their intellectually challenged Guards. But there is one villainous Fairy out to spoil their happiness. So heroic Prince Valiant must take a trip to the Land of Time to try and save the day. He is helped by some characters from other stories, including a famous secret agent. And even then, fresh perils abound. Will goodness and romance win in the end? We’re not telling. But after all, it is a pantomime.

Robin Hood, 5th October 2007
By Strange Face Mask Co, who delivered a wonderful workshop in the afternoon and
an amazing performance about the true story of Robin Hood in the evening, with
lots of masked characters and props performed by 3 actors. It was like a
wonderfully woven tapestry of magical moments.
Day at the Races, in the Newbury Fringe Festival
2007
Our very own Interakt Community Theatre performed a masked piece
called Day At The Races, which was their first ever
masked performance and it went down very well at the Newbury
Library.
Signs of a Diva, July 2007
A wonderful performance by a deaf artist called Carolin Parker. She
performed a one woman one act play called Signs of a Diva.
She had has laughing and crying, mesmerised by her unique way of
performing word perfect (as the audience had the advantage of
watching the words digitally displayed on a small screen off centre
of stage), to some of her favourite songs of yesteryear.
