as performed by
The Leckhampton Players
On Tuesday 30th January 2007 I went to Leckhampton Village Hall to see another amateur dramatic performance by the Leckhampton Players. This time the panto was Frankenstein which you may feel was a funny choice for a pantomime but if you had seen it you would soon realize that it really is a good sCRIPT.
Whilst I enjoyed the performance of the whole cast, especially Maggie Wheel and Jill Roebuck, the performance of the night was Dan Peacey as Professor Crackpot, his performance was so good that I had tears of laughter streaming down my face and was still laughing during the interval.

Eyes of red and fangs of white!
When the sun is shining you're alright
But when it's dark I bite, bite, bite!
