Synopsis: 

 

Jack and Jill. Presumably loosley based on the nursery rhyme.

 

BHTC NOTES: Of interest is that the poster for this production is the only one so far discovered, based on the design of a professional variety show poster, where cast members and the characters they played are detailed. 

 

Many members of this Downlanders production were BHTC members and around 1965, the two groups joined together.

 

For the purposes of recording the number of BHTC Pantomimes, this production has not been counted - Click here to see the first 'official' BHTC Pantomime, 'Puss In Boots (1966),
