Canny Act's panto this year: "Bah! Humbug!" brought a much needed ray of sunshine and warmth to this icy corner of the North East on Saturday.

Playing to packed houses for both performances, the great Charles Dickens tale was retold in a way only Canny Act can. Keeping true to core of the story Phil Murray's Scrooge was a commanding presence throughout the show.Children leaving the village hall at the end of the performance were heard repeating his barking "Bah Humbug" much to their amusement.

Written by Chris Rodger the show romped through the famous fable at a fair lick, with able support from Debbie Murray as Cratchitt,and the five strong chorus, playing various parts (workers,bodies,skeletons.etc)

The introduction of a certain legendary reggae star (Marley) brought the house down as Denis Garden and his fabulous Wailers brought Jamaican sunshine to Kinneff with a wonderful version of what developed into the show's theme "One Love"

 Start: Dec 4 2010 - 7:30pm

Sadly summer's almost over, schools are going back, soon winter draws (drawers?!) on but do not despair.....Canny Act your local Drama Group are planning another panto - hooray!

If you would like to join in the fun then do come along to a meeting at the Creel on Tuesday 24th August at 8.00pm to discuss our plans.

We need all sorts of help - it's not just for those who enjoy dressing unusually - we need folk to assist behind the scenes with building and painting sets, lighting and sound, making costumes, doing make up or just generally helping out - we can guarantee a lot of laughs so do come along!

If you cannot make the meeting then please phone Karen Hales on 750467 or any of the Group to let us know you are interested. See you next Tuesday!

Canny Act's production of A Murder at Barras Hall had it all. A murder, intrigue, some terrible jokes and some fine acting and production.

The ensemble should be congratulated for turning the cosy surroundings of Kinneff Village Hall into the Drawing Room of a fine Country House, complete with Chesterfield and Grandfather clock.
