ON STAGE: Ribcaged’s production of Oiiver Twist at The Grand, (s)


ered his lines clearly and was confident on stage. There were some excellent cameo performances from the younger members of the cast, including especially Rose Har­ greaves, a local sfacth former, Oliver Bo­ wen and Katie Edmondson, good use of' the stage and scenery, (a splendid set con­ structed Ian Phillips), and an abundance of musical cues to keep the audience sign­ posted to key scenes. The challenge of providing costumes \vas well met by Ann Marie Caunce. The youthful cast came from assorted local schools and comprised: Oliver Bo-

track record of producing inven­ tive and thought- provoking produc­ tions. On the basis of this show, it is surely destined for ever greater suc­ cess. This production,

REVIEW: "Post Horn Gallop", by Derek Benfield. Performed by the Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dra­ matic Society at the St Mary's' Centre, Clitheroe.


Derek Benfield, began se­ dately in the baronial hall of Lord Elrood, played con­ vincingly by Bob Cleeve, together with shotgun, and Lady Elrood, Liz Wrigley, graceful and very posh.
