One day, Alastair France asked me if I wanted to be in the chorus of the pantomime his local group, The Harlequins, were doing. I said OK, and went along to the audition - and ended up as the Principal Boy! I also performed in another pantomime (Good Fairy this time) and many smaller productions.

Then I joined Bottisham Players and have fallen into doing whatever is required - costumes, doing the photography, production, painting, poster, programme as well as performing.

And, most recently I joined Balsham Unique Repertory and Pantomime Society, where I performed "Liz Price" in Christmas Belles 4-5 December 2009.
