The
audience will be entertained by clowns and circus performers in
an adaptation of Pinocchio, written by Doreen Moger and directed
by Robert Bell.
Geppetto,
the woodcarver (Peter Heffer), longs for a son. The Star Fairy (Sam
Clark) is willing to grant his wish on condition that his puppet,
Pinocchio (Gareth Lloyd), proves worthy and learns to be good. Old
Nick (Karl Hitchcock) is determined that this should not happen.

The
adventure continues at Stromboli's circus, where Pinocchio meets
the clowns, Macaroni (Lori Scharpf) and Spaghetti (Katie Beckett),
and then on and into the sea and the meeting with the whale.
But
will guardian conscience, Jimminy Cricket (Darren Mather), guide
everyone to a happy ending?
"With
the success of last year's pantomime, 'Panto at the OK Corral',
we wanted to do a more traditional pantomime, but one that we have
not done before," explains Darren Mather, chairman and publicity
officer for the group.
"When
it was suggested about doing Pinocchio, we all jumped at the chance,"
said Robert Bell, Director.
There's
a mix of old and new songs, 'Puppet on a String' and 'We go Together',
to name but two, plus the traditional audience participation.
This
year for the first time the Bunbury Players will be hosting the
final of 'Puppet Idol' where the audience will get the chance to
vote for the winner!
