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

For some reason best known to herself, the sorceress now takes her eye off the ball and turns her attention to the need for some exercise of her two delicate assistants ...

... who might have been named Sugar and Plum, but probably weren't ...

... as matters threatened to get seriously out of hand, the sorceress fortunately wound the episode up ...

... but, perhaps because she hadn't kept her concentration where it should have been ...

... the wicked witch and her coven were plotting all sorts of nastiness over a nice cup of hemlock ...

... and when the time came for her chums to mount their broomsticks to avoid the rush-hour ...

... the wicked witch's manservant Tibia was on hand to retrieve their vehicles from the parking lot ...

Dorothy and co were unaware that their every move was being monitored by the witch on her seriously wide-screen telly ... ... so Dorothy didn't stand an earthly when Tibia was sent to haul her inside ...

... so the witch could reveal her weapon of mass destruction, a cauldron which, bubbling away nicely ...

... could turn an axe as big as this ...

... into one as small as this - a fate the witch clearly had in mind for Dorothy herself ... ... though, fortunately, help was at hand in shape of three apparitions ...

... which turned out to be none other than ...

... and in the ensuing confusion, Dorothy succeeded in turning the tables on the wicked witch, who was forced to take an early bath ...

... to cries of "I shrunk the witch" ...
