1966 and all that Performance Dates 9th and 10 June Written by Tony Long Co-Directed by Bernadette Tildesley If
a show makes you leave tapping your toes and wishing you could sing, then it’s
a job well done. ’1966 And All That’, WAS all that…and more!
Thame Players transported us back to the swinging sixties in style (and
occasionally in drag!) when men were mods and skirts were minis. Tony
Long and Bernadette Tildesley superbly managed the ever-growing cast of players
with vocal talent, singing pop songs of the day and medleys from the musicals
people flocked to see. It all gelled together with informative and witty
narration bringing us the news and events of the day.
Special mention must be made of Susannah Fellows who did a fantastic job
with the choreography and to Steve Bannister who worked his magic with the
music. All in all, a fun show that
was superbly timed to reignite patriotism for our boys out in Germany after
reliving the glorious 1966 World Cup win ( which I am sure many of us are too
young to remember, or too old to remember anything!) Just
one question though to wardrobe…where on earth did you get tights big enough
to fit Mike Rochford?
