After the few years we have all had, trying to live and
work with covid, the re arranged “2021 Panto” was finally
performed (with a lot of hard work and re organising) in
January 2022 to a socially distanced, but well supported
crowd, thank you all for your support and understanding.

performed after the Christmas
celebrations, a great deal of imagination
was needed to fully enjoy the hard work
that Harlequin-Productions had put in.

girls by pretending to be tough Gangsters and going to the
‘Polecat Club’….
