Stella Abbey's production and direction was a great success.
One of the features of Christmas in Winsham is the expectation of one of Stella Abbey's short plays, with her merry group of players.
On Sunday evening, after the lighting up of the Christmas Tree, about a hundred people of all ages gathered in the Jubilee Hall to cheer, boo and heckle the assortment of heroes and villains of this Victorian style melodrama, against a background of dramatic music and effects created by Ms Sarah Turner on the hall's near Victorian piano.
The players excelled themselves, playing transgender roles which added to the amusement and general lack of credibility of the story.
