 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:44): The Mansfield Musical and Dramatic Society’s latest production The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon is another success story, a comical twist on the classic fairytale stories we all know and love. Congratulations to directors Meredith Newman and Bernie Gifford and producer Maree Cordes. Again I was impressed by the depth of local talent in Mansfield, which includes new and emerging actors and the involvement of loads of young people front- and backstage. Part of the production team were Derek Beekman, Dekoda Beekman and Oscar Jones. The cast included Tahlia Hinton, Jude Hams, Abi Heron, who is so much like her mother, Keeva Morris-Webb, Patrick Chandler, Jasper Watts, Merryn Kelleher and Xavi Carrington-Logan – and a special shout-out to Evie Guthridge for her special shout-out.
