Buxton gets the ALGSS treatment . . . .

 Society wins ONE AWARD and receives EIGHT NOMINATIONS - for details click here

The company has just returned from taking our successful production of Ruddigore to treat the G&S fans attending the prestigious 15th international festival at Buxton's famous opera house.  The show was well-received by the audience and also by the festival adjudicators.  The company received nine nominations in the various categories and one of these - Emma Southorn, best character actress - took the top award in that category.  The full list of our success is available here .

Most importantly though it was another opportunity for the cast to join together enjoying themselves and delivering a top-quality performance - and the audience were not disappointed.  Principals Russell Stratton, Gareth Edwards, Eve Rapley, Rob Milner, Emma Southorn, Brenda Southorn, Norman Southorn, Richard Ogden, Katherine Littler and Melanie Riseam all put in excellent performances and were backed up by Abbots' typically strong chorus work. 

At the age of 80, this was a fitting way for Norman Southorn's long career on the stage to come to its conclusion and we look forward to Norman's unstinting support of the Society to continue even though his work on stage may now be complete.
