Pirates in the docks!

Visitors to Bristol Docks last month  were astounded to see that HMS Matthew had been overrun by a band of ferocious pirates who were being confronted by brave but odd looking members of the constabulary! But all was not as it seemed and there was nothing to fear – it was just members of Thornbury Musical Theatre Group on location for a publicity shoot to advertise their forthcoming performance of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.

The group have had great fun rehearsing the show and is sure that the audiences will have great fun watching it. Performances will be at the Armstrong Hall, Thornbury 23^rd to 26^th October at 7.30pm with a matinee on Saturday 26^th. The ridiculous plot, the wonderful melodies, the fighting, the flirting, the quaking in the boots and of course the happy ending make this very suitable for the whole family; there is a best dressed pirate competition for the children on the Saturday matinee which will be judged by the Pirate King himself, Mark Collins.

Tickets are available online at www.tmtg.org.uk, by ringing Julia on 01454 632170 or in person from R.A.Bennett & Partners (estate agents), the Plain, Thornbury.

If you have never seen a Gilbert and Sullivan show before then this is the ideal one to start with. Director Pete Berry has been innovative in his production to ensure fun for all – both cast and audience. A treat not to be missed! The group prides itself on its high standards and is thrilled to be nominated once more in the Evening Post Rose Bowl awards; Olivia Mills has been nominated as best actress in a musical for her performance as Belle in the group s production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
