Last week saw yet another week of performances by the children of the village which again surpassed all expectation.
All aged 18 or under , these children work hard from the end of the Christmas holiday to provide a week of entertainment for the villagers (and many people travel long distances to attend too).
Acting, singing and dancing from tiny tots to teenagers was as good as it has ever been with few, if any slips.
Scenery, painted by church members was, if anything, better than ever before and the play itself, devised by David Howarth was hilarious.
With the Crusoe family, two rival pirate bands and King Neptune and his retinue to help things along the addition of a gorilla lusting after Ma Robinson had the entire audience in stitches just by the tilt of his head or the lift of an eyebrow, the actor has to be recommended for his talent.
Some of these actors who will be to old to participate next year will be sadly missed but I note that there are already others ready to step into their shoes, long may this event continue to entertain the people of Oakworth.
