Dear Dave,
A few more photos for the site. These are from the school musical production of Toad of Toad Hall in December of 1965. Cast members included:
Toad - Dennis Jordan
Badger - John Covell
Ratty - Me.
Sorry I can't remember the identity of Mole!
Tony Horsfall was the front end of the horse (promoted from the rear end at the last moment I believe). The producer was Mr Walsh who did a fantastic job of making boys wear tights!
The production wasn't without incident. On one evening the horse's head fell off. On another the second half of the production was played with the house light up. (Very frightening and off putting for the cast!) The stage lights had fused and nobody could get them working again.
Bring back any memories?
Phil (Ratty) Wilkinson
