PANTO time with the Trowbridge Players' traditional production will be a family affair in more ways than one.

Three generations of one family are taking to the stage as part of the cast in Sing A Song Of Sixpence.

Returning to the stage and playing a major role is Paul Nicholls.

Mr Nicholls, who has been associated with the Trowbridge players for over 25 years, is making a panto comeback in his favourite role as the dame.

His daughter, Virginia Havergal, takes the role of the jester, Flop, while her children Naomi, Charlotte, Miriam and Nick all have roles in the traditional pantomime.

Mr Nicholls said: "I am really looking forward to this pantomime.

"Not only will I be taking one of my favourite stage roles but I will also be appearing along with my family which is really great."

Sing A Song Of Sixpence is a pantomime along conventional lines with a prince, a dame, a wicked witch and a good fairy.

The pantomime is being staged at the Trowbridge Civic Hall from January 19 for four days.
