The traditional story line, script by Bob Heather of Lazybee Scripts, was given a lively performance by the cast led by producer, Susan Oldfield, in the title role, with Lakeisha Bradbury as the ever-present cat, Tommy, and Lyndsay Downes as Alice Fitzwarren - the daughter of Alderman Fitzwarren, played by Peter Oldfield.
Comedy was in the capable hands of Kevin Keegan as Dame Sarah Stewpot and Carl Cooper as Idle Jack. They were well supported by John Roberts as Captain Slog and Tony Barrow in the dual role of Bos'un and Jarraffe.
The villainy of Edna Taylor as King Rat was countered in fine style by the delightful Kathryn Sissons as Fairy Bow-Bells.
The musical numbers were well selected and a good tempo was maintained throughout with lively choreography. Sets and costumes were up to the group's usual high standard.
A pleasant evening's entertainment.
