Pearl
Truce (Geraldine Hindley))
I have been involved in theatre since my french teacher recommended I join
the drama class so that I would stop "acting up " so much in
class. Plays at school presented an extra challenge as there were no boys
but it gave me the chance to do lots of parts that I would never otherwise
have got! After college I joined groups in Southend and since moving to
Cambridge have been involved with groups in Great Shelford and Melbourn
before joining Meridian Theatre. I have been lucky enough to have been
given the opportunity to do some brilliant roles in great plays; Duckling
in 'Our Countries Good', Beverly in 'Abigail's Party', the Landlady in
'Two' and last but not least Annie in 'The Donahue Sisters'. My current
part of Pearl is small but perfectly formed. She is an absolute gem,
scandalising the village and leaving a trail of dazed men in her path. I
love her, if only I could be like her in real life, what fun I would have

Lindy Love (Barbara Oxley))
Barbara has been involved with local drama for more than 30 years,
with such groups as BAWDS and Combined Actors. She is a newcomer
to this group, however. Her work as a supporting artiste includes
appearances in "Harry Potter", " Stage Beauty"
and, on TV, "Cambridge Spies."

Barry Love (David Wilson))
David is a newcomer both to GP, and to am-dram, with his previous
experience being limited to 3 St Johns Player's productions, 2
Pantos "Cinderella and the Golden Flipper", "A
Christmas Carol" and an adaptation of Oscar Wildes "A
Picture of Dorian Gray." where he played Alan Cambell. It
would be fair to say he finds the part of Barry rather daunting,
but is thrilled by the challenge it presents.

Teddy Platt (Alan Lodge))
Alan Lodge's first appearance with Girton Players was his
critically acclaimed "dynamic" performance as the dead
body in Inspector Hound, followed by a longer-dead rôle as a
ghost in Shades of Night ("very lively"). He then passed
into the land of the living as the bad-tempered Colonel in Black
Comedy ("a natural") and the Rev Mightily Oats in Carpe
Jugulum ("wetter than water").

Lucille Cadeau (Sue Hensby))
I joined Girton Players in 1999. Since then I have been lucky
enough to play a variety of roles, including a scheming cleaning
lady, a bossy yuppy housewife and a vacuous lady vampire! I now
seem to have found myself a somewhat dubious niche playing man mad
women of a certain reputation, usually with a drink problem! Such
fun!

Gavin Ryng-Mayne (Tony Davey))
Tony Davey is relatively new to Cambridge though he has been
acting in the Harlow area since the late sixties. Played
everything from Shakespeare and Pinter to Panto Dame. Recently
made a debut appearance in a cameo role with the 'Combined Actors'
in 'Chorus of Disapproval' at the Mumford Theatre in Cambridge.

Giles (Roger Few))
Girton Players have provided me with numerous opportunities to
make an idiot of myself in public developing characters that some
of my family have told me reveal familiar traits. A miserly
chauvinist, a rabid revolutionary, a tap dancing rabbit, an old
queer, and a deranged, lame aristocrat. Therefore playing someone
as nice as Giles must be quite a challenge for all concerned.
