The Drama Society tonight turns the stagelights on another of its attempts at producting a pantomime with the fairy-tale delight "Cinderella". And the Jamaica School of Drama, under the auspices on Inn Theatre Company, tonight plays for the second time its drama "Hello and Goodbye".
An experienced cast heads Cinderella: Wendy Daykin as the beautiful maid herself; Val Watts as the stepmother; Carol Ann Paget-Brown as the prince; and Claire Tuttle as the fairy godmother.
No finer match could have been found for the ugly sisters than Clive Munyard (a far cry from his role superbly played in "Enter A Free Man last year.) and Martin Couch. Other members of the cast include Jeff Parker, Alastair Paterson, Pat Stapely, Kate Bowring, Chris and Don Beacock, Peter Smith, bunny girls Sharon Bostock, Judy Rutty and Juanita Berry, and Stuart Bostock as the Page boy.
The cast is completed with 12 chorus singers and eight children. "Cinderella" plays weekends at the George Town town hall.
The Jamaican production, "Hello and Goodbye," is written by South African Athol Fugard, directed by Rawle Gibbons and stars Earl Warner and Marina Taitt. Stage management is handled by Owen Ellis.
The serious-type drama, a rare occasion in Cayman, is the story of a brother and sister and how they react to their poverty-ridden upbringing.
Hello and Goodby plays every night until Saturday at Royal Palms, showtime 8 p.m.
