Wrington Drama Club ARCHIVE Wizard of Oz Thursday, 9th January, 2003 performance

After a long and dreadful storm, when it seemed the light would never return, Uncle Henry's garden shed ended up in Munchkin land, right on top - to the Munchkins' delight - of the Wicked witch ... well, a wicked witch, anyway ...

It seemed all the Munchkins were keen to point out her feet sticking out from under the corner of the shed ...

Eager to discover who was inside the witch-killing shed, eventually the mayor was bold enough to knock on the door ..

... but when Dorothy emerged, this proved almost as frightening as the prospect of the witch ...

For her part, Dorothy was rather keen to return to Kansas, and, as luck would have it, there was a sorceress - a good witch - on hand to help ...

... a witch, moreover, prepared to protect Dorothy on the journey she'll have to make to the Wizard of Oz to have any hope of returning home ...

... generosity clearly near to the heart of the Munchkin mayor

... so, with the leagl eagle's full approval ...

... they prepare to leave Dorothy to go on her way ...

... but there's a nasty surprise in store for everyone with the appearance of another wicked witch, who isn't at all happy at the fate her sister met under Dorothy's shed ...

... and she makes it clear Dorothy doesn't have much chance of reaching the wizard safely - not if she has anything to do with it
