ME AND MY GIRL

“I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street,

In case a certain little lady comes by.”

Leaning on a Lamppost - George Gay

Our show for 2001 was "Me and My Girl" which was staged on 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th October. This show was the biggest challenge we have so far undertaken. Bob Ward took the role of Bill Snibson. Bob has been with us for while but this was his first major role. Kate Palfreyman played Sally with other parts being taken by Pauline Allen, Emma Thorp, Joe Norton and Andy Radford. Everybody involved worked exceedingly hard to ensure that the show was another success for us. The opinion from our audiences seemed to be "How will you follow that?".

SYNOPSIS

The show revolves around an unapologetically unrefined cockney gentleman named Bill who learns that he is the 14th heir to the Earl of Hareford. However, he will only receive his inheritance if Sir John and the Duchess approve of him. The Duchess feels that with a little grooming, Bill will be suitable to inherit the title – and the money. However, she insists that Bill break up with his cockney girlfriend, Sally. Bill refuses to accept the title if cannot keep Sally as his girl. Eventually, Sally is groomed to become more lady-like. Thus, Bill is allowed to inherit the title and keep his girl.
