7.49pm Sunday 22nd December 2002

Hello to everyone at  PPP, especially Georgie, David,  Iain and co. and of course the Webmaster who kindly sent me a message 'way back.  I have only today caught up with your new website so this  is in haste .  To David Shortland - I will email you ere long. How lucky that Georgie and David are still there of the old brigade, helping to carry on the tradition.  It is now a far cry from the fateful day when I bumped into a Committee  member by accident, who was on his way to a meeting to fold up the PPP.  The Company was on its beam ends, and as I had just finished Newton Abbott's panto, he asked if he could tell his committee that I would have a go, as it were. and I did.   I press-ganged people from other Societies in the area, including some good actors from TOADS dramatic, and as I recall, Peter Randall, and away we went.  It brought PPP back to life, and the rest his history.   We never looked back, and had plenty of good talent wanting to be involved, like Lionel and Jean Roberts, and of course Georgie's daughter, Carolyne.and one of the best Dames I have ever seen, David Beard, from Widdecombe.

I wish you all a very great success with this year's Dick Whittington.  My daughter Hilary, who works in the Criminal Justice System in London, has her home in Highgate, not far from the legendary spot, where Dick heard the bells telling him to return to London.

I send you greetings from my home in Palm Springs, but will be on my way with friends, to Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii for the Christmas period, and I will be pleased to hear how the show went in Paignton when I return.  Love and best wishes to all old friends, and don't forget to smile.

G'day there folks,
 
My cousin Dame Sarah suggested I drop by and say g'day from Oz.

It is certainly remarkable to have a company like yours still stong and enthusiastic after 66 years. I have enjoyed having a browse through your previous plays and checking out the casts. Some of the shielas are pretty easy on the eye.

Congratulations on a brilliant (and well photographed) website and maintaining a wonderful history.

Best Regards,

Warren McLean.

Most of you who read this will have no idea who i am, but to those who do, Hello.
Its Ben ( you know small, sweet, innocent Ben.........ok just small). So how is everyone? I was really sorry to miss last years PPP as i was working like a dog all ove Christmas. My hard work paid off, i did well in my A-levels and am now celebrating at Cardiff University. Im having the time of my life up here. I randomly checked the website and saw a few of you i loved so dearly and couldn't help but get in touch.

How is panto this year? let me guess.................... Iain is stressing, Helen is laughing, Colin and Rae are carving, the dancers are falling in love, the juniors are smiling, Elaine is missing me dearly. Dont worry i miss you too. Anyway shouldn't really hog your
guestbook so i will sign off. Good luck to you all, im sure i will be watching this year.

All the best

I've visited your website as I'm looking for pantomime scripts to be used in my English language classes at Bologna University. I've noticed that you have a rubric "script" in your website, but there's no link activated yet. 

In particular, I'm interested in those semi-improvised parts where there's interaction between the actors and the audience, and in those  exchanges between the principals that go, for example: "You'll  bring this apples to your granny"-"Oh, no, I won't"-"Oh, yes, you will"- "Oh no, I won't"-"You will", etc. etc.

I was wondering if you could recommend some site where I can download some scripts, or excerpts of the sort mentioned above.

Thanks a lot for your attention,

Maria Freddi

I am a member of YAPS and will beplaying PB in our next production Ali Baba. Your website is really good, very courlful and full of lots of imformation about the society. I really like your idea of grants as it's good it feel supported by your prior societies. I also like the way you get pro's in coz no matter how good you are you can always learn smething new about what you are doing. I think maybe you could have given your top 5 tips maybe from the day.
Please visit are website and feel free to comment.

Katie, we will have to have a good talk. Britney Spears CANNOT act. By all accounts her film is AWFUL. I hope you and Dean don't do the sunbed too much. It is bad for you more than once a day. Dean is looking very brown. Anyway, we are well advanced with plans for DICK WHITTINGTON (Dec 23rd - Jan 4th). Please make sure that you are all going to be in it. We want a great cast, and another great run. Lerts see if we can attract even more than the record number of punters we had this year. See ya all soon.

Good do last night, and afterwards at H's. I was shocked at the behaviour of Gillian Shortland - uncontrollable she is after a few drinks !! Nice to know that Jo and Chantelle are so supple ! And the Baldy Ward chap - well...... Away from parties we will not be in a position to tell you what next years panto is until possible the end of the month when we have 'officially' chosen it !! Thos of you who want information on 'South Pacific' please look at www.toads-operatic.co.uk - see ya all soon.

A huge congratulations to Iain, the cast & everybody in the society who were involved in this years production of Cinderella. It does not come as any surprise to me that you received your best attendance in decades as 'bums on seats' is the true measure of quality & your productions appear to get better & better every year. Well done everbody !

I am really proud of everyone. We had a fantastic show. The best houses ever in the last 20 years at Palace Theatre for the panto - 3983 patrons. Thankyou to all the cast and helpers for being so professional and dedicated. I think we can truthfully say we are the best amatuer panto society in the South West. Here's to next year. Luv ya all - even Baldy Ward !!!!!
