Recently, the cast and families of Lyric Theatre’s September’s show Jasper Jones gathered for a fun event.
They danced the barn dance, twist and hokey pokey and played musical chairs to get into the mood for 1965 – the year the show is set in.
Hedgehogs, cocktail onions and cheese cubes on tooth picks stuck into oranges and other colourful food from Margaret Fulton’s cookbook were enjoyed for supper.
The play, adapted from the novel by Craig Silvey, tells the story of the mystery which Charlie discovers when Jasper Jones calls in the night.
It is set during Christmas of 1965 when Dougie Walters scores his first century and draft letters are being delivered to young men for the Vietnam War.
Fine young local actors hold the leading parts, including Will Thatcher, Ronan Harris, Ella Tough, Katelyn Hollins and Coby Fowles. They are supported by a stellar cast including Lea and Nevada Crimp.
