Whatever you want... ...we've got it


tion was “Deeds not Words”, produced and directed by Viki Mason, a short promenade produc­ tion focusing on the key events in the movement of the Suffragettes. A power­ ful (almost) all-female cast recalled with great authen­ ticity the dedication and passion which drove the Suffragettes to win the vote for women. Headed by Deb Groves


and Rebecca Parkinson, and featuring Keith Flood as narrator, the dedicated cast succeeded in taking their audience on a journey from the first rousing Suf­ fragette speeches to the funeral of Emily Davison and two personal encoun­ ters from victims of the “Cat and Mouse Act”. The piece was an inform­


ative and bold attempt to present the times and trials of these noble women. RATS once again found a nice balance between fact and dramatisation and the music festival gave the soci­ ety a chance to move away from the pantomimes and plays which govern their year and explore a more


significant and historic type of theatre. The strength of “Deeds


not Words” rested in its modesty and simplicity. Strong performances and fitting costumes were a necessary part of the pro­ duction, but it was the structure of the piece; a snippet of historical facts and figures followed by a dramatisation of key events, a retelling of real life accounts and short monologues, which gave the production its depth. Rather than dressing the production up in exciting set and music, the cast relied on exploring the real­ ity and emotions these women faced with integri­ ty and truth. The production would


perhaps have benefited from a more central, urban setting, as most of the action - powerful suffra­ gette speeches and protests - would have taken place in town and city centres. However, it might have been harder to prevent a chorus of unofficial (and unpaying) audience mem­ bers joining the promenade had the company moved. “Deeds not Words” was


a far more credible outing for RATS; the kind of the­ atre they should strive to present annually.

“GLASTONBURY - THE FILM” (Cert 15); screenings on Sep­ tember 4th, 6th and 7th at 7-30 p.m., Stage & Screen @ St Mary’s Centre, Church Street, Clitheroe .


“SLOSH, slosh, slosh” is the melody. It is not Radiohead, or


the Levellers, or even Toots and the Maytals who open Julien Temple's epic new film about the legendary Glastonbury festival, but the sound of walking through liquid mud. For the festival is as well-known for its scenes of knee-deep mud as for the array of stars who line up to appear each year. Glastonbury, the movie,


starts as it means to go on, suffused in the real experi­ ences of ordinary festival goers. As Michael Eavis, the farmer who founded and still runs the bewil-


deringly vast, weird, pun­ gent, musical gathering in the Vale of Avalon, remarks: “I t ’s not real is it? It can't be real can it?” Now, for those unable or


unwilling to experience the mud, music and mad­ ness first hand, Glaston­ bury comes to the cinema in this strangely voyeuris­ tic film.
