PLAYED to three packed houses, the St Teath pantomime was again a huge success.

The story of the wolf’s quest to capture Red Riding Hood unfolded with song, dance and plenty of laughs.

Geoff Sloggett played the wolf with evil intensity, while his henchmen the Three Little Pigs, played by John Dunstan, Sue Wilmot and Di Potter, kept the audience laughing at their inept attempts to help.

Guarded by The Good Fairy, played by delightful Angela McGorrin, for whom this was a stage debut, Red Riding Hood, played by Wendy Parkyn, glowed throughout, attracting the attentions of Billy, played by Pauline Kent, whose lovely singing voice carried the production to a different level.

As always there has to be a Dame. This year played by Kevin Hargrave, ‘she’ was the epitome of female pulchritude, whether demonstrating archery, teaching in the village school or chatting up Billy’s woodcutter father played by Elaine Fell.

Excellent support was given by Megan Sidgwick and Tikvah Williams as Jack and Jill who along with the chorus brightened the whole panto.

Max Vince as the villager, along with the children played by Ruby and Sam Coleman, Holly Johnson, Lucy Ferguson, and Megan Prideaux made a wonderful and talented chorus. Their presence on stage shows the St Teath panto has a very bright future.
