All the world's a stage... well the front of the school hall is anyway. An eager audience wait in antici... pation!


Len Goodman would have had a few comments but the audience loved Baron Hardup's hip action.


Edna Stavro Blowave Hardup (left) and her lovely daughter Marge.


And here's the even prettier daughter, Morticia.


Poor old Cinders is downtrodden and miserable since she gained two step-sisters and a step-mother.

Things are looking up for the Hardups when Dandini, the Prince's personal servant, tells them about a ball the Prince is holding.


Can M (Head of M27) and secret agent Buttons, James Buttons, thwart Edna Blowave's evil plan to get one of her daughters married off to the Prince.


But will counter intelligence, or Odd-doc as he's known, win the day?


Even burglars Peg (left) and Pauline are confused at what they find in the wardrobes.


It's time for bed and Marge and Morticia strip down to their "smalls"!


It must be hard to get to sleep with two burglars in the corner of the room pretending to be clothes horses.


Perhaps a quick bop on the head from mother will help.


What a pair of ****!


Can Q (How does she do it?) get Cinderella to the ball with the help of a genetically modified pumpkin?


James Buttons appears to doubt whether Q (How does she do it?) knows what she's doing.


And Buttons himself is in danger now that Edna has him in her sites - he's the one that she wants - oo, oo, oo!


And Miss Funnypenny hopes that James behaves himself.


Baron Hardup doesn't mind which girl ends up married to the Prince - as long as he gets stacks of cash.


Edna Stavro Blowave Hardup is proud of her girls.


But Cinders is off to the ball with the help of Q's (How does she do it?) pumpkin coach.


Impromptu crooner John rocks the house (apparently it's not the first time he's serenaded men in cut down denims!)


The Prince wanted the best band in the country that money could buy, but instead ended up with this lot!


John & Andy - Helmdon's answer to Simon & Garfunkel.


Morticia flirts outrageously with members of the audience.


But the Prince only has eyes for the beautiful Cinderella.


Marge and Morticia lead the audience participation.


If the shoe fits... but in this case there's no way!


And poor old Marge fairs no better.


Edna takes the long way back from the ball so that James Buttons can look after her pussy - an old saggy cloth pussy!


But even Edna can't make the slipper fit.


And of course it all ends happily ever after. Oh no it doesn't! Oh yes it does!


Take a bow Bridge Players - see you next year!
