Dame Maggie Melba Perrotts Puppet Players are proud to welcome this great actress to the small stage. Dame Maggie's accomplishments are so well known that we won't bother to list them here. Suffice to say that she is pretty good, and that we are jolly lucky to have her, and that on no account are we to look a gift-horse in the mouth and ask why, if she is so well known and successful, is she bothering to work for a low-down, flea-bitten organisation like us. |

Gerry Roper Little is known about Gerry's thespian credentials as he was recruited by the producer when looking through the rubbish bins for a lost wallet. "What we needed was somebody suitably rustic for the part of Little John, someone who looks the part." Well, the only way of getting more rustic than Gerry is to employ a sod of earth. (Some might say we already have) and as for looking the part, he looks like the hedge that someone got pulled backwards through. Gerry does all his own stunts and nearly got a standing ovation (if only the audience had joined in) for losing his head in Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight. |
