Cathy says, “I’m really pleased to be directing ‘Goody Two Shoes’, it’s one of the less well-known panto themes and I’m sure audiences will be enchanted by this production. I played Goody some 30 years ago, so it feels like I like I have come full circle. I have so many happy memories from my childhood of the WLT Pantos and I’m so excited to make my directorial debut with this one. The cast have been amazing in rehearsals; we’ve had so much fun. Thanks to everyone who has helped in any way to bring this production to the stage.’
