then facing the group was to produce a musical which the truth but retained its dramatic The seal of approval by Maria even lending them a watch belonging to Derek is a sign they have risen to the challenge admirably For Wilkinson the festival is an opportunity not only for the cast but for the piece itself which he hopes may developed further following the festival And for us the festival is a
