Panto magic

12:31pm Thursday 11th January 2007


THIS year's Ledbury Market Theatre panto, Jack and the Beanstalk, will provide more than smoke screens with on-stage magic performed by Dame Dotty Dibble, also known as Dave Taylor.

New to the company, when not starring with Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society (LADS), Dave is a professional magician.

As well as new faces, well-known favourites comedy double-act Mark Llewellin and Bob Maynard return with their own brand of slapstick humour.

Jack and the Beanstalk will run from Wednesday to January 27 (evenings at 7.30pm with matinees on Saturdays and Sunday, January 21 - no evening performances on January 21 or 22).

Tickets are available from Ledbury tourist information centre on 01531 636147.
