. closely identified with Lancashire . and has successfully retained links with her home county,” ex­ plained Owen. • “This is precisely our aim for


■ the company, which is why we felt • Jane was the obvious choice. We are delighted that Jane has ac- cepted out invitation and we wel-


come her as our patron.” Besides Owen Phillips, the Ribchester “connections” within Ribcaged include leading village thespian, now turned professional actor, Keith Flood and internationally renowned singer-songwriter and now actor Rick Guard. Together with fellow members, the com­ pany performs serious and chal­ lenging drama, comedy and new musicals.


So far this year, Ribcaged has


enjoyed a busy spell in Ribches­ ter, staging various productions and cabarets, including a cabaret and “The Bear Who Paints” dur­ ing the recent 50th field day cel­ ebrations.


It also has three productions at


this month’s Edinburgh Fringe festival. These are being per­ formed in succession from noon to 10 p.m. in the centre of Edin­
