When a yachting trip goes wrong, a household is stranded on a desert island, and the butler Crichton (John Garratt) traps animals to keep them fed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betty Bellamy produces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This play by J.M. Barrie (of Peter Pan fame) has one of Grenoside\u2019s biggest casts.  Several new people therefore made their first appearances: Peter Race as Thomsett the naval officer and Elizabeth Birkby junior, as Eliza. Stage D\u00e9cor is by Joan Scanlon, but it\u2019s her last time, after 16 productions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Walker joins as the Page Boy. His first stage appearance seems to have been in Grenoside\u2019s Dick Whittington pantomime last year, playing Dick\u2019s Cat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the annual dinner a short time later, it was announced that founder member Rachel Skinn had to resign owing to illness \u2013 although in fact she did appear on stage twice more, in 1980 and 1986<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group put out an odd request – for stuffed animals, vital to the plot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
