PREVIEW: Bluebeard, Bishopstoke Players

10:11am Friday 20th January 2012 in Curtain Call

WHEN the sinister Baron Bluebeard sets eyes on the lovely Flora Rockbottom he has only one thought – he wants to marry her. Accompanied by her father and her sister, Ruby, Flora becomes a guest in Bluebeard's castle while she finds out whether she likes him.

Bluebeard’s intentions are far from honourable; when he is bored with Flora “she will go the same way as all the others”, he says. To Flora’s rescue come Robin Reliant, her sweetheart, and the clumsy Fetch and Carrie and, after many shenanigans involving ghosts, poison and the inept antics of Bluebeard's sidekick, Lurkin, good prevails.

Bishopstoke Players will be donating proceeds from this year’s panto, Bluebeard by Paul Reakes, to Action for Children as usual.

The fun begins at Bishopstoke Memorial Hall on Wednesday and continues until Saturday. Call 023 8069 3032.
