Ali, Barbara and the Forty Steves
The 27th annual pantomime performed by the Barkway Players, Ali, Barbara and the Forty Steves, filled Barkway Village Hall during the second weekend of February. It was a colourful show full of music and laughter, featuring Barbara the Barber, her son Ali, and Yasmin, the innocent handmaiden of the Sultana – the “current” ruler of the kingdom. They had to deal with the evil scheming of the Vizier Saleem, his two incompetent sidekicks Amin and Washma, and their camel, Camilla – to say nothing of the accidental involvement of Ranseed the beggar and his Genie. The Sultana’s harem of forty Steves – so named because the Sultana could not be bothered to remember their individual names – draped themselves around the marble halls in the palace, desperate to escape with the Sultana’s guards and handmaidens to the kingdom of Qatar in time for the World Cup. The show was well-received by the audience, and was great to be part of. Many thanks to everyone who came to see it, took part or supported it.
