We've been in the UK since Wednesday last week. We came to participate in a fund raiser for our old church, Saint Mary's Datchet. Every year they put on a pantomime - this year it was Cinderella. They take a fairy tale and fiddle with it. The story stays basically the same, but they put in jokes about village life, songs, and the like. The audience participates by yelling at the characters when they are being deceptive. The ugly step sisters were both men (and were they ugly!), and prince charming was a woman. It really is a hoot, despite my poor attempt at explaining it.
Steve and the boys are stage crew. They moved the scenery and took care of the lights and curtains. (As stage crew are apt to do.) I hope to post some photos soon.
