A CHURCHYARD proved the ideal setting to bring Wantage Operatic Society’s 1985 production to life.

Four members of the cast – from top, Lynn Banks, Brenda Brown, Kerry John and Kath Watson – chose the tombstones around Wantage parish church for an impromptu rehearsal of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Ruddigore.

Three performances were given at Wantage Civic Hall. The joint producers were Claudia Middlebrook and Alan Kingston.
