Andrew Campbell

Many of you will remember Andrew Campbell, who although a member of Belvoir Players, has acted in several plays with Barts - Kevin's Bed, The Last night at Ballyhoo and Number One and more.

Unfortunately Andrew suffered a heart attack three weeks ago and is at present seriously ill in The Royal, perhaps in need of a transplant. Clem has visited Andrew to pass on our good wishes for his recovery.

Please keep Andrew in your thoughts.

Running Riot

8th 9th 10th November 2007

Bart Players present their autumn show in the church hall, three performances of Derek Benfield’s hilarious comedy.

Some of you may remember seeing this play about ten years ago and indeed we feature three members of the original cast.

The play is set in a small hotel in Europe, at the time of the Olympic Games now changed to the Senior Olympic Games to accommodate the advancing years of the cast!! Come along and join Felix the “allo allo “ type hotelier as he and his daughter grapple with athletes, trainers, wives and spies in a fast and furious comedy of espionage and mistaken identities.

The words “ze robin is on ze bough will never have the same meaning again!

Don’t miss it!
