Lynn News All Our Yesterdays 2005: Watlington Players, ‘Glastonbury’ at Grimston’s Manor Farm, Creake Drama Group, North Lynn Discovery Centre





• All Our Yesterdays June 13, part one: arts and entertainment:

June 2005: Watlington Players were thrown into a spin when choreographer Jane Wallace was admitted to hospital with double pneumonia just weeks before the group were due to stage Singin’ in The Rain at the village hall. But after a ten-day stay in hospital, she was allowed home and soon checked in on a rehearsal.
