This is our second favourite play (\u201cWhen we are Married\u201d is the most popular)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Jackson plays Hopcroft Minor. His \u201cfuture\u201d son Oliver will play the same role in 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julie Wood produced the play, making her our youngest ever producer. Alistair Codona joined and will stay for 7 years, although it\u2019s the last appearance for Marjorie Portman, who\u2019d done Wardrobe for the last 10 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath Brewster allegedly made gym slips for the three men specially short to show their legs to advantage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
