Pirates invade memorial hall

2:22pm Tuesday 29th January 2008 in Witney By David Horne

AHOY me hearties!, is the call as a village drama group get into pirate mood for their Treasure Island panto.

The Windmill Players, at North Leigh, are in last rehearsals for the show, which has a creative take on Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure story.

Long John Silver (Jaimie Bunting) is in there, but the heroine is Jemima Hawkins (Rachel Walter), both pictured, as well as a terrifying Chinese woman pirate, accepted as a man.

The show goes on stage on February 1 and 2, 7.30pm, at the memorial hall.

Tickets, £7.50, £5, and £20 for family, are available by calling 01993 881189 or 01993 881365.
