FOR their summer production the Masque Players presented a double bill.
The main event was to showcase Masquerade- the youth part of the group with a play written by their chairman Justin Clinch who also runs the youth section we were treated to an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
The first half was a series of sketches and songs from the main group.
Especially poignant was their remembrance of the First World War with poems, letters and songs.
A screen to one side of the stage projected some very graphic images of what it was like for the soldiers. This was a very moving experience.
The first half closed with a stunning solo from Vikki Gomm chairman of Masque Players who gave us a rendition of Let it Go from Disney’s film Frozen.
The second half was presented by the youth group Masquerade. It depicted a small village hall, a struggling director and her rather unreliable and unruly members as she endeavours to pull together a decent cast for her annual pantomime.
It was funny, well written and the youngsters were well cast. There is a considerable amount of talent in the youth section which bodes well for the future of the group. Their enthusiasm shone through and it was a very enjoyable experience.
