This year's panto sees us meeting outside the Admiral Benbow Inn owned
by Aunt Sally Forth, assisted by her son Jack and his sister Mary. In
on the tide comes Long John Silver who holds one half of a treasure
map. With him are his merry band of henchmen, Jolly Roger and Blind
Pugh & Israel hands and Ben Gunn;
Jim Hawkins, joins the above mentioned along with Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, not forgetting Spot the Dog and together we all sail off on The Hispaniola in search of the long lost treasure. Sally Forth holds the other half of the map and Silver tries to get his hands on it any way he can by hook or by crook!
Arriving on the desert island everyone goes off in search of the treasure which leads to much skull duggery. Who will find the treasure, and will we have a happy ever after?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is set in the day room of a state mental hospital. It deals with the change in status quo when an inmate of the local prison feigns insanity to escape the work farm. Randle P McMurphy's arrival on the ward has a dramatic effect on his fellow inmates and life on the ward will never be the same again.
David Cheape chose the above play, based on the best selling novel by Ken Kesey and perhaps best remembered as an iconic film of the 1970’s starring Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd and Louise Fletcher, as his 3rd production for CTC .
The original play premiered on Broadway in 1963 starring Gene Wilder and Kirk Douglas. It was revised from three to two acts in 1971 and ran for 1,025 performances, helping launch Danny DeVito into the public eye. In 2004 the play took the Edinburgh Festival and then the West End by storm starring Christian Slater, Mackenzie Crook and Frances Barber.
