CINDERELLA
Our tenth anniversary pantomime, Cinderella was staged at Bohunt from
Thursday 22nd to Saturday 24th February 2001 and was a
great success.
It marked our pianist Phil Richards last performance with us and at the Saturday
evening show he was presented with a framed group photo and a silk tie at an
emotional ceremony on stage.
Cinderella's coach was probably our most ambitious piece of scenery (well, is it
scenery if it moves ?) to date since it had to do two 90degree turns to get to
the stage, and necessitated the moving of Saturday's video man and changes to
the seat layout. But it was worth it. The photos don't show the true beauty of
it as the lights on the carriage and wheels were only added on the Wednesday but
it was truely a carriage fit for Princess Amethyst.
HELLO AND WELCOME
Four years ago, I sat in the principal's office at college and he said,
"You're going to Liphook!" "Where?" we replied! A few days
later, we came to this mysterious Hampshire village to meet the church and the
people. I met my predecessor for the first time at the Saturday night
performance - he was none other than "Captain Blackheart!" the baddy!
From the very beginning we realised that the MAD panto was the Liphook event of
the year, and its good to know there's Methodist behind our madness!
Sadly, this year will be my last MAD panto, but I'm sure that the wonderful
MAD panto company, which incredibly began 10 years ago, will continue to grow
better and better and better. Next year, an American minister will be serving
the Methodist Church in Liphook. This will be a wonderful education in British
life for her!
So Cinders, you shall go to the panto...and for many more years to come!
So my thanks to the cast and crew for all their months of hard work, and to
you for coming. And welcome, now, CINDERELLA who hasn't aged a day since 1992.
God bless,
Revd David Hinchliffe
Methodist Minister
David was the minister from 1997 when Phil Thomas left, until
2001. Although he didn't appear on stage, both he and Kathyrn were usually to be
found helping with the refreshments.

Scene 1 : In the market square Dandini announces that the Prince will be
hunting - well having a jolly good horse ride at any rate - in the forest that
afternoon and everyone is invited for the ride and a picnic.
In the evening there is to be a Royal Ball and everyone is invited to that as
well - ticket to follow by Royal Messenger!
Buttons arrives and meets Dandini who gives him a ticket for the ball. Buttons
explains that he is page to Baron Breadline of Pennyless Manor and that he's in
love with Cinderella, the Baron's daughter.
Cinderella greets her father who has been away seeking gainful employment but
has instead got married. The Baroness enters and is horrified at the sight of
Cinderella - and Cinderella is with her!
The Baron admits to Cinderella that she probably just wanted to be a Baroness
and live in a castle.
The daughters Semolina and Tapioca are introduced.
Scene 2
Cinderella tells Buttons that she hasn't got a ticket for the Ball because her
step-mother told the messenger she only had two daughters. Buttons promises to
give her his ticket.
Scene 3
While out collecting sticks Cinderella is approached by an old woman who looks a
bit like Obi-One-Kenobi. Cinderella offers her the sticks she's collected and
the old lady promises to help Cinderella sometime - but Cinderella cannot
understand how this can happen.
Scene 4
The Baroness rips up Cinderella's ticket
