DIRECTOR’S NOTES
When I last directed at Hendry Hall it was a zany tale called Lettice and Lovage. Now I am back with something even more outrageous – Sleeping Beauty written by John McGie. All I can say is I hope you can understand what is happening at the castle; if so, perhaps you could spare a minute and explain it to me. There is no logical explanation to the story, but don’t worry we have a Storyteller to keep you in the loop. You will discover it just happens and with the help of a truly understanding cast, I am sure you will Boo and Moo in all the right places, and even sing along when encouraged to do so by our Storyteller.
– Mike Jarvis

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the long-awaited world premiere performance of Sleeping Beauty, as adapted and interpreted by John McGie. I hope you have as much fun watching this, as we all had making the magic that is live theatre. For many children, these shows create fond memories that bring them back as adults to continue the cycle of camaraderie and community spirit. My thanks to everyone involved on stage and backstage. Most of the profits from this show will be donated to a children’s’ charity on the North Shore. Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us today. We hope to see you again soon! – Glynnis Brassil
