David Laine had meticulously set up a computer at the side of the stage for the various sound effects. During the performance, standing idly by and waiting for his next entrance, Baines the butler, played by Jonathan, decided to just check the time to see how we were doing.  Unfortunately on clicking on the time, a booming rendition of the Wedding March burst forth until David came bursting through the side door looking panic-stricken to see what had happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a DVD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems to be the last involvement for Brenda Hester, who joined 51 years ago! Brenda seems to have done every job in the society, as well as appearing in 25 plays<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
