Sad to say Glynis is still in Hospital and is quite unwell.
Glynis should have been taking part in the TOADS Agatha Christie Play as Props person but was unwell
and had to pull out at last minute.
She also auditioned for and got a part in the TOADS December 2024 play
"Wind in the Willows"
but has had to pull out as she is still in Hospital.
Glynis is resting between activities. (apart from volunteering at Greenway, taking Alpaca walking trips with WI, and going to meals, events with the Riviera Red Hats and a weekend trip to Cornwall).
Panto finished, Glynis survived, despite a dreadful cold, and her next project was as Co-Producer for the TOADS production of "Confusions" which was performed at The Little Theatre from 8th to 13th April 2024.
Now Cranford is finished Glynis is concentrating on the Marldon Pantomime ("Oh yes she is!" ) which will be performed in the Village hall between Wednesday 24th January and Saturday 27th January. Tickets available from Marldon Cards and News Shop.

Glynis has now been given the part of "The Cook" in Marldon Pantomime Group's forthcoming production of Alice in Wonderland, to be performed in Marldon Village Hall in January 2024. (This is in addition to Cranford at Christmas in December 2023)
Well This was a busy month, with rehearsals almost every night in the week preceding the play, followed by a two week run of performances with a total of 13 performances including a matinee and evening performance on final day. And to follow that - well a brief rest, but now in the cast of Cranford at Christmas at TOADS little Theatre.

In April 2007 Glynis was the Policewoman in Blood Money where she was heard at the door but never came onstage. Glynis was also Stage manager for this production.
In November 2007 Glynis was also heard but not seen as she did not audition for a part in Country Wife. We were hoping to sell our house and move to Devon, but were still here when she agreed to be the Prompter, and was kept busy as the cast found the script of this restoration comedy to be quite a challenge.
Finally, in March 2008, Glynis had the part of a 'batty' medium in her last production with Duston Players, a comedy entitled "Late of This address", after which we moved to Devon - Who says type-casting does not happen!
Glynis has been Producer for a number of Duston Players productions, including Are You Being Served, Little Women and Baggy.
