Ann Monk (Anne) Ann joined Huntingdon Drama Club in 2005. She is surprised to realise that she has been involved in 11 of the 13 productions since then. No wonder she has little spare time! She has acted, most recently in And Then There Were None, where she was injected with a lethal dose of poison whilst attempting to do her knitting. Although acting is her first love she has also produced, been responsible for costumes – including creating OTT hats for Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest – and made props for Cold Comfort Farm and last autumn‟s The Happiest Days of Your Life. Jane Crittenden (Helen) This is Jane's first ever play other than an appearance as a tree in a school nativity play aged 5. She is celebrating both her children now going to school and thought „being in a play would be fun.‟ Having discovered how much she enjoys acting, she‟s unlikely to go back to being a tree. Guy Makey (Porter) Having recently made my debut with the Club as the scheming Hopcroft Minor in The Happiest Days of Your Life, I am taking more of a supporting role with this production. Never before has the placing of a Christmas tree on stage been of such importance to me! As well as undertaking the role of the porter in A Doll's House I will also be working backstage as you watch the show tonight, ensuring that all props and stage furniture are in their correct place. I very much hope you‟ll enjoy the show. Ronald Stevenson (director) I have been an active member of Huntingdon Drama Club for many years. This, however, is only my second time directing a full-length play – and what a challenge it has been! Michael Black (producer) This is my first time producing one of the Club‟s plays, and it‟s reminded me how much we depend on the help and goodwill of a large number of people, both Club members and others. Thank you all – without you, we wouldn‟t have any productions! In particular, Ann Monk and John Morgan have both helped enormously in numerous ways.
