The Witch of Alder Edge
by
Charlie Cook
Directed by: Jackie Vandyes
1st-7th December, 2025
The wicked Witch of Alder Edge needs the unwitting help of an innocent boy to retrieve the Cornucopia of Plenty (a horn to you and me!).
With this horn, she will rule the world. Can Luke, Princess Elizabeth, two incompetent policemen and a wonderful dame prevent this? It's panto so of course they can! Fun and laughs for all the family.
