Essex theatre company appeals for caravan

The theatre company has asked the public for help with providing facilities for changing and makeup

An Essex theatre company is appealing for a caravan to use as a backstage area for its large cast.

The Clavering Players is putting on its first pantomime production for more than two decades, but is desperate for an area for the stars to change in during the show, the Saffron Walden Reporter revealed.

The organisation is staging its version of Cinderella at the Clavering Village Hall from January 7th to 9th and recently scooped awards at the Cambridge Drama Festival.

Cast member Ian Miller revealed to the newspaper that it has been difficult but fun going from serious acting to pantomime comedy.

“It’s quite a challenge because there’s a lot of singing and dancing which many of us haven’t done for a while, but we’re all show-offs so it should be fine,” he said.

The topical script was adapted by the cast, who are under the direction of Jennie Scott-Reid.

Essex caravan parks include Fen Farm Caravan & Camping Site, which has room for up to 30 caravans or motorhomes and is pet-friendly.
