Big Brother's Davina in Hawkhurst pantomime
Comments |
Big Brother presenter Davina McCall brought a
celebrity touch to a village pantomime when she made
a guest appearance.
Kris Robertson, director of the Hawkhurst
Amateur Theatrical Society’s production of Alice in Wonderland,
contacted Davina, who lives a few miles away in Wadhurst, to
ask her if she would play the part of the Sat Nav in the show.
Kris said: “I tweeted Davina to invite her to
record the voice of the Sat Nav and was delighted when she agreed.
It just put an extra bit of sparkle into an already fantastic
show.”
HATS’ Alice in Wonderland, whose cast included
the Hawkhurst Brownies, was staged at the Marlborough House School
theatre on Friday, December 11 and Saturday, December 12, with a
sell-out matinee on Sunday.
Kris added: “We had all the elements you’d
expect in a family-friendly pantomime, including a man in a frock,
plenty of chances for the audience to shout out, and some slapstick
fun.
"We made sure there were a few gags in there
for the mums and dads too and it was a great success.”
- HATS was founded 18 months ago and welcomes
new members. The next show will be in June, auditions will be held
in the new year. Visit www.hawkhurstamdram.co.uk or call the HATS
