WHEN the curtain goes up on the opening night of Holsworthy Amateur Theatrical Society's pantomime 'Cinderella' next Monday (January 24) one member of the cast will be appearing in his 40th pantomime.

Over the years Crispin King, who this year plays the hen pecked Baron Hardup, has been an Ugly Sister, a Dame, a policeman, a villain, a Lord Chancellor, many a 'Silly Willy' and appropriately a King. Crispin has appeared in plays and musicals too, but his first love is panto and somehow, a HATS pantomime wouldn't be the same without him.

For a preview of this years HATS production, see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
