THE Actors of North Tawton Society (ANTS) will present the pantomime Happily Ever After in North Tawton Town Hall from Tuesday, February 13 to Saturday, February 17.

The script has been written by ANTS very own member, Alfie Budd, aged 19, and it is a clever twist on a traditional pantomime storyline.

All the usual characters are there to cheer, laugh and boo at, but with references and characters related to music from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

ANTS has a number of new members joining for this production, with some very strong singers, together with some familiar faces audiences might recognise.

The cast includes: Dame Dolly Parton (John Palmer), King Elvis Presley (Heather Smith), Queen Mercury (Sue Weedon), Princess Bonnie Tyler (Cat Richards-Kastelic), Prince Prince (Sadie Moden), Fairy Houston (Sarah Ruby and Serena Fewings), Lord Alice Cooper (Colin Pimlott), Chaz (Nigel Davies), Dave (Anna Field), Bishop Bowie (Ben Thwaites) and E (Alfie Budd).

The chorus includes Megan Bevan, Erin Chesney, Serena Fewings, Starla Grehan, Nicola King, Lucy Perry, Faye Pimlott, Sarah Ruby and Ben Thwaites.

Join ANTS on a rockin’ and rollin’ adventure to see if the good guys can defeat the plot of the evil baddy and his henchman, not to mention the shark!
