"Big bad Baron's Back"

South London Theatre Centre's offering in this festive month is a play which has already established itself, in a mere eight years of existence, as almost a seasonal classic.

In "The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew" Rober Bolt, whose qualities of writning and compassion need no urging, has written a rattling good yarn for the young-in heart of all ages.

It is a tale of knight-errantry triumphant in an island jointly administered by the wicked Baron Bolligrew and a dragon. the former keeps his half of the island for grinding the faces of the poor and needy, leaving the other half for ravaging.

Matters com to a head when the upright knight Sir Oblong Fitz Oblong arrives, and Baron Bolligrew calls in the services of a mad magician from Oxford.

Victor Shaw's blandly genial production needs plenty of audience participation, especially from the younger generation, and blossoms in proportion as it gets it. Dennis Packham, preserving the mein of come minor clerk on a parish council when confronted by the ways of human wickedness,plays the innocent knight who wrecks the Baron's foul schemes.

It would be hard to imagine anyone at the SLTC playing Baron Bolligrew except the man who does play it, Charles Cheetham. A crumpled-looking sporty gentleman, he waddles on in the company of his thick henchman Squire Blackheart (Tony Dunstan), blasting off with his blunderbuss at any stray flying object that catches his eye.

Don't hesitate to hiss him good and hard; he thrives on it.

Christine Wilson gives a warm and endearing performance as Maggie Magpie and Malcolm Saunders is a suitably mysterious Dr Molock, though a rather more fantastical touch would not come amiss from this most bizarre of magicians.

The unseen John Davies gives the dragon a compelling voice, relishing that singularly well educated creature's droll turn of phrase. The whole production achieves its effects with the utmost simplicity.

Highlights include the sea crossings, the game of musical bumps played by the Duke (Brian COllins0 and his knightly court, and the racy court scenes presided over by Baron, Squire and Knight.

Donald Madgwick, The Croydon Advertiser.

== Gallery ==

== Reminiscences and Anecdotes ==

In one of his many stories Malcolm Saunders said that John Davis (voicing the dragon from the flyloft) dropped his script onto the stage one night, making him possibly the only person ever in our theatre who had to take a prompt when reading the part from a script.

Member, 1967 to present

One of the founding fathers of the SLT, Bernard "Bernie" Bullbrook has been one of the longest serving members of the theatre.

Until his retirement and move to South Petherton, Somerset in 2006, Bernie was a regular feature in the the SLTC Members' Club bar.

Bernie was Deputy Chairman for many years and fought hard to ensure the SLT's voice was heard in council meetings and community groups throughout Lambeth.

Bernie was the leading light in founding [[Prompt Corner]] (see below).

== Anecdotes ==

I remember a very moving speech that Bernie gave to the SLT Youth Group when we were preparing for [[Stay With Me (2006)|Stay With Me]] ([[2006]]) ([[Prompt Corner]]). The play was based in the war and Bernie was an evacuee. He got all the children to lie down in [[Prompt Corner]], in the dark, then turned the lights out - and described his feelings as a small boy, on a cold floor, in the dark, miles from home and frightened. And how he wet the bed because he knew that 'bed-wetters' were given an instant transport home.

Most moving was the fact that his very first theatrical performance was in the room in which we were all lying - long before it was [[Prompt Corner]], it was St Luke's Church Hall and Bernie put on a charity performance to raise money for the war effort.

It is unsurprising therefore that he fought so long and hard to have [[Prompt Corner]] rebuilt as a theatre space.
