Ziggi Szafranski (Sillibillibad)

Many of you may have seen Ziggi around the village in the Summer sporting a freshly polished bald head and were wondering if he was preparing to be a genie in Panto… Alas no (at least not yet), he had shaved his head for charity as he was performing as Daddy Warbucks in Annie. Always busy on stage, he still managed to pull off ‘A’s in his AS exams while at the same time performing in shows on stage including Honk, Red Hot & Cole, Me & My Girl and Bugsy Malone, and on the BBC in TittyBangBang2. Let’s wish him all the best of luck for the future, and hope we get to see more of him on stage, film and TV.

James Peacock (Mrs Sinbad)

It will take a lot to keep James off our stage. As if wearing outrageous dresses last year were not enough, he still came back for more. When we told him this year was an Arabian adventure so he would need to show off some bare flesh… his response was a cheeky smile and a ‘how much?’ When he read about dancing the seven veils… he wanted to know how soon he could start. It’s always great to have James on our stage…let’s just hope he doesn’t scare the kiddies (or their dads) with this newfound exhibitionism. You have been warned!

Tony Dent (Cassim the Corsair)

Cassim the Corsair is not a likeable character… and that’s the way that Tony likes it! The man we all learned to hate as King Rat in Dick Whittington is back with a mission to thrill. It’s no matter that children cheer and elderly ladies hiss with delight, there’s no better villain like a loveable egomaniac… and who else could fit the bill so perfectly than our very own Tony. He hasn’t looked back since hanging up the frock and passing over to the dark side.
