"Pied Piper" At Spring Grove

After the outstanding success of the pantomime "Mother Goose" last year, the Spring Grove School has turned its attention this year to "The Pied Piper of Hamlin", a slightly more ambitious production but one within the capabilities of the cast. As can be seen from our front cover, costuming is both lavish and colourful. The panto is to be performed on December 16, 17, 18 and 21, at the Drill Hall at the Spring Grove School.

Mistress Hildegarde (Mary Price) has words with her goat.

The Piper (Mark Davis) and some of the rats of Hamlin (Tony and Gary Batchelor and Peter Aitken, King rat).

Two of the other principal characters are Lady Priscilla (Rose Neame) and Sir Rupert de Vere (Arthur Bandy).
