Cancelled plans have become the norm over the last few months, and TADS’ production of Alice In Wonderland is, unfortunately, no exception. Despite stellar work by the cast, chorus and the behind-the-scenes crew, the show cannot go on with the planned June performances.
The ongoing physical distancing and other restrictions that are in place stopped all rehearsals some weeks ago. Even though the cast have been rehearsing at home, it is now too late for a show of the usual excellent TADS calibre to be performed. Combined with other factors – some cast stuck out of country, the restrictions on audience numbers and so on – and it is impossible for Alice In Wonderland to go ahead. For now…
Hopefully, if things continue to be managed well with COVID-19 in Brunei and Panaga, there is a chance for the pantomime to be put on later in the year, perhaps even with a more festive schedule in mind. In the meantime, the cast have been asked to return their scripts to the Panaga Club reception and should get the chance to have a small get-together before the summer (restrictions permitting) to celebrate the efforts that were made thus far.
Thanks to all those in TADS for their ongoing efforts to keep this important aspect of Panaga life going. If you like a little drama in your life, please do consider getting involved.
