Full houses at Barkway Village Hall witnessed Ratty, Badger, Mole and Dorothy the Dinosaur
fight back against evil developer Bandersnatch, who wanted to build a factory on the
riverbank. Poor old Mr Toad managed to get himself into a bit of a mess as the temptation of
being the first in the county to own a bright red motor car proved too much for him. Exiled into
the Wild Wood, Toad was befriended by Dorothy who
offered him the key to her heart - and also to Mole’s
mysterious box which proved to contain the solution
to all the Riverbank folk’s problems.
It was a happy and well-received show, and has
raised nearly £3,400 for Barkway Village Hall, as
usual - a new record. The proceeds will help pay for
the new LED stage lights which were installed in
December.
The Players also raised some £526 in a retiring
collection for the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, in
memory of a much-loved member of the group who
passed away in the autumn.
