Lifeworks students bring joy and laughter
Lifeworks students put on an amazing pantomime performance to a specially invited audience at Dartington Hall. Parents, careers and a large group from the Totnes Primary Care Network attended this magical performance.
Local poet and performer, Jonathan Mason, who kindly coordinated the whole panto said; “Our main focus for the students was 3 things, that the students had fun, fun and more fun! Being on stage can be a daunting prospect, but everyone stuck to our manta and as such had an amazing time. I don’t think I have seen so much excitement, smiling faces and laughter. It was a really joyful day!”
It’ll be all White on the Night
The pantomime story mixed a number of themes chosen by the Lifeworks Students….
It was Christmas Eve at the North Pole -preparations for Christmas are underway. The Nasty Ugly Sisters are picking on poor Snow White, who is consoled by her big sister, her best friend and her pet duck. Meanwhile, on Planet Evil, Puke Skywalker and Evil Shrek are causing trouble as Captain America rages about his wife leaving him broke. They hatch an Evil Plan to kidnap Alice In Wonderland (as she is so happy and rich) and hold her to ransom. There is a funny kidnap scene as Alice in Wonderland becomes Alice on Planet Evil, until Snow White remembers her old friends, the Seven Dwarfs, who are called upon (Thunderbirds style) to bravely rescue Alice (which they do, of course) and they all return to the North Pole, just in time for Christmas – for forgiveness, reconciliation and our festive celebrations.
