The
timeless and magic tale of Dorothy and her adventures in the magical
world of Oz is being staged in Evesham.
The Evesham Operatic and Dramatic Society are staging the Wizard of
Oz in Evesham Arts Centre Theatre at 7.30pm from Tuesday the 16th
to Saturday the 20th ofÌý September and at a matinee at 2pm on Saturday
the 20th.
All the familiar characters created by L Frank Baum are there – the
cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Wicked Witch and a delightful
Dorothy with her dog Toto.
Toto is played by a real live dog called Murphy Bourne.
He's six years old and lives with 2 cats, Sam and Tigger.
He’s also no stranger to public performances having appeared once
in a Billy Davis Band concert.
His owner says he's really looking forward to treading the boards
again and furthering his acting career.
The cast should remember that old theatrical adage about never appearing
with children and animals, and will have to take care that they're
not upstaged.
Tickets are available at Wallace House, Oat Street, Evesham 10am to
4pm or by telephone 01386 41952. |
