A TRULY OPULENT


SHOW OF DELIGHT review


by Marcia Morris


The Nutcracker, St Petersburg Ballet, the. Grand Theatre, Blackpool


TO. see the original Nutcracker danced


by the St Petersburg Ballet of Kon­ stantin Tatchkin, where the ballet was first conceived, was something very special, and the opulent setting of the Grand Theatre, Blackpool, only added


to the magic of the evening. Following the Tchaikovsky overture,


Abbey’s stitches in time


STITCHES in time have helped pre­ serve the past of one of the Ribble Val­


ley's best- known landmarks. Hundreds of hours' work.by needlework-


ers across Lancashire have created a second series of embroidered wallhangings for


Whalley Abbey. Next Thursday Mrs Jennie Chesters, the


•'- 3


wife of the Bishop of Blackburn, will dedi­ cate the new tapestries which were designed by Mr Garth Edwards and com­ pleted during the course of a year byj30 members of the Blackburn Diocesan Fel­ lowship of Needleworkers. The new panels display the life of the


Abbey over the last 700 years, depicting the Cistercian monastery at work and prayer, as well as showing the building as a private family home and in its present role as a retreat and conference centre. Also illustrated are the coats of arms of the dio­


THE Designer Only dress agency in King Street, Whal­ ley, has been given planning permission to triple its floor


space., Officials of Ribble Valley


Borough Council followed the recommendation of the County Surveyor and advised Planning and Devel­ opment Committee members to turn down the plan


ceses of Lichfield, Chester and Manchester, to which the Abbey belonged at various periods, as well as the names of all those


who helped create them. Once dedicated the hangings will join


five others which were completed and ded­


icated in 1996. They depict five figures from Whalley's


past including Abbot Paslew, the last Abbot of the Abbey who was hanged at Lancaster in 1537 following the Pilgrimage of Grace; Ralph Assheton, the man respon­ sible for rebuilding the abbot's lodging and Bishop Herbert, the first bishop of the newly-created diocese of Blackburn in


1926.The Rev. Alan Reid, chairman of the Whalley Abbey Fellowship, is pictured with Mrs Wendy Otter, Mrs Iris Riley, Miss Betty Charnley and Mrs Dorothy Leeming, who worked on the tapestries. (C180101/6)


Thumbs up to dress agency’s plan


because of the shortage of parking. They did not think that bringing the first and second floors, currently a flat, into shop use created any amenity problem. But councillors, voting to


Unity service in village school


accept the plan felt that the parking problem was not as important as keeping shop­ ping centres alive, and it should not be allowed to


affect it.

played superbly, by the Russian Ballet Orchestra of St Petersburg, conducted by Aleksandr Kantorov, the opening sequence of this classical ballet begins with a Christmas party for two children, Clara and Fritz, and their invited friends. The stage was set with a magnificent giant Christmas tree, and the toys


beneath, dressed in their colourful cos- tumes, from Harlequin to an Arab, come, to life and dance with verve and passion. Suddenly, a magician appears from the huge grandfather clock and tells the chil­ dren the story of the Land of Sweets and


its handsome prince. The Snow Queen was danced beauti­


fully by Anastasia Kolegova,while the corps de ballet performed their set pieces in perfect unison.- ■ In the Land of the Sweets, where everything is pink and frothy, a grand cel­ ebration is held with dances from differ­ ent parts of the world creating a colour­


ful scene. The highlight of the whole perfor­ '


mance was, of course, the grand pas de deux, the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy with her handsome prince, ending a truly classical ballet by.this renowned Russian ballet company, which boasts 51 dancers and 44 musicians in this ensemble, and who danced this well-choreographed bal let with such expression and passion.

HAVING foiled a hold-up, this rare act of unselfishness gives Wall Street heavy­ weight and confirmed bache­ lor Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage) the chance to see how different his life would have been had he married his col­ lege sweetheart 13 years ear­ lier. Gone are the fast cars, fast women and fast living as he is now a father of two who works as an auto supplies salesman. As Jack muddles through this new alien world, his horror and dismay slowly turn to tolerance and then even acceptance, as the joys of fatherhood and domestic life creep into his mind.
