Christmas Plays
The Operatic Society and Unity Theatre combine this year to present a Christmas attraction in the War Memorial Hall from December 12 - 16. On the same programme the Operatic Society will present "Amahl and the Night Visitors", a play with music for children. Amahl is a crippled boy and the visitors the Three Wise Men on the way to Bethlehem. Unity will stage a colourful production of "Puss-in-Boots" and this promises to be great entertainment for everyone.
