Hansel & Gretel

This is my second time solely directing for New Taverham Players pantomime and what another great experience it has been.

I have been involved with the group for 22 years now and have grown up with New Taverham Players. Having all of my family involved, even my Nana and Grandad back in the day makes it that more special for me.

Hansel and Gretel has been a real joy to direct. From the hilarious script written by Alan Frayn to work from as a base, to the support from my musical directors and choreographer Tracy, Danielle and Katrina Melton, it’s been a pleasure to take the reigns of this challenge. So much hard work and effort goes on behind the scenes of any production and a shout out is truly deserved to my production manager Connor Baker.
