"Toad of Toad Hall"

Last month, Unity Theatre staged a highly successful three-day season of the A.A.Milne children's play "Toad of Toad Hall".

Twice a week, and sometimes Saturdays, 29 children rehearsed their parts for three months. Producer Ray Skyrme gave an excellent interpretation which was rewarded with a "House Full" notice each night.
