Translation of the song

Even the angels give in to love. That is why I beg you, God who rules our lives, to let me have one more hour of paradise. All my loves are like flowers, leaving their traces of sweet perfume. Give me your lips, your soul and your heart, because I love you madly, I love you, I love you.

Bibliography

Carol Wadey (Julia Sterroll)

Before moving to Brampton eighteen months ago, Carol played a variety of roles, her favourites including Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Alice in Henry V. She has also sung in Brigadoon and several other shows. This is Carol’s first appearance with Huntingdon Drama Club. When she isn’t rehearsing she works as an assistant at Brampton Playgroup.

Jeanette Brown (Jane Banbury)

Jeanette loves acting and enjoys most backstage work (apart from the most nerve-racking, prompting). This is her second appearance with the club, after Wedding of the Year in 2003. Jeanette has acted in several productions by Broughton Village Players, including When we are Married and Cinderella, in which she was the Stepmother. While living in San Angelo, Texas, she was in No Sex Please, We’re British, Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods and other plays. Her next dramatic venture is the Huntingdon 800 production, Kings and Liberties.

Mark Lamberth (Fred Sterroll)

This is Mark’s first stage appearance since taking part in school plays back home in Australia. He’s new to Huntingdon Drama Club, and is a member of the committee. He’s hoping that this will be the first of many performances with the Club – family and new job permitting – and has already secured a role in Kings and Liberties.

Ronald Stevenson (Willy Banbury)

Ronald has recently taken up amateur dramatics as relaxation from the stresses of DIY and mountaineering. In last autumn’s variety show Bobby Dazzler, he played General Melchett in the Club’s production of Blackadder, and he’s a member of the St Barts Readers and Singers. He too will be in Kings and Liberties. Ronald is the Club’s treasurer, a role not unconnected with his daytime job as a tax accountant.

Kelly Armstrong (Saunders)

Kelly is another new member of Huntingdon Drama Club and of the committee. She was very keen on drama at school, but this is the first production she’s been involved in since then. She’s had lots of fun with Fallen Angels, but thinks she should have been cast as the dashing Frenchman!

Nick Hemens (Maurice Duclos)

Nick has performed previously with the Club in productions of Lady Windermere's Fan, The Ghost Train and No Sex Please, We’re British. He has also been involved with Shakespeare at the George and various plays in the Oundle area, including Pro Am productions of Henry V and Romeo and Juliet. Rumour has it that there is a Pantomime Dame lurking in the background.

Michael Black (Director)

Michael has performed in many of Huntingdon Drama Club’s productions since 1980, including Noël Coward’s Easy Virtue and most recently Blackadder. He’s also directed Any number can die and The School for Scandal. Michael belongs to the St Barts Readers and Singers, and will be acting in Kings and Liberties. He sometimes plays the piano for SIMADS, and has acted in and composed music for Shakespeare at the George productions.

Rachael Orchard (Producer)

Since joining the Club in 2003, Rachael has acted in Alan Ayckbourn’s Gosforth’s Fête and was Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous in last autumn’s variety show Bobby Dazzler. She has also contributed to running the Club in the roles of secretary, editor, publicity officer and, currently, vice-chair. This has been her first experience of producing, and it has distracted her from her new venture, opening The Tan House, a spray tanning salon in St Ives.

Ruth Morgan (Producer)

Ruth has been a member of the Club throughout the twenty years she has lived in the area, and is pleased to have been involved in a wide range of plays, from Oscar Wilde to Dr Who. She is a jack of all trades, and has directed several productions, including staging Bobby Dazzler last September. On this occasion she’s enjoyed the frantic hunt for props, and cajoling people into lending their prized possessions!
