A Royal Flush
(50 Years on the Throne)

 

  Production date:
June 2002

For the first time in history four local drama groups have put aside years of rivalry and bitterness (particularly in the panto competition) and combined to put on this show to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The newly formed company is called BTMS - after the initials of the groups concerned (but also because it sounds a bit rude!!). After several meetings and minutes of rehearsal the show was born. We hope you enjoy the mix of (vaguely) royal items in the show along with memories from the last fifty years.
