Pantomime & Plays Sadly, but inevitably, as we progress into the twenty-first century, new people become part of the Winsham Players group, and new talent gently slips into the leadership role. A role of the Winsham Web Museum is to ensure that all are remembered. Following the death of Stella Abbey, and the retirement of Penny Pargeter; enter Ann Cook (Stage Left) who produces an adaption of a play written by Stella Abbey, shortly before she died, in the style of a radio play. It received an enthusiastic reception in 2017. Entitled the 'Heir of Heartfelt Manor' it centred on an improbable theme of misplaced heirs - a light entertainment which was greatly enjoyed, and regarded by many as a wonderful start for Ann Cook, as well as being a tribute to all the work Stella had done in the past. In January 2018, this was followed by a seasonal entertainment called 'Just Another Day' written and produced by Ann. The Jubilee Hall was filled to capacity for its two night run in early January 2018, and greatly enjoyed..... everyone hopes that it will be the first of many such productions.
In the index below you will find links that will take you to web museum pages devoted to nineteen productions between 1985 and 2018. |
