Will Cinders make it to the prince’s ball?
Find out at Haynes Amateur Dramatic Society’s panto, which is, of course, Cinderella. The society’s annual pantomime has been a popular event since Haynes Village Hall opened in 1976 and this year promises to be no exception.
The script, written by talented young Haynes writers, Will Seear and Scott Thomson, inevitably ensures that, despite the efforts of a very wicked stepmother and two very ugly sisters, Cinderella can eventually give up sweeping the house and end up by sweeping the Prince off his feet!
Performances are at the village hall on Friday, January 31 at 7.30pm and on Saturday, February 1 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £7 for adults and £5 for senior citizens and under 16s. A family ticket for four people costs £20. To book yours call the box office on 01234 381567 or email jenniferhayward@yahoo.co.uk
