Animal Farm

A Memory of Shernborne.

It was either 1967 or '66, I can't quite recall. I was attending St Georges S M school Dersingham, when a producer came up from London and put our year through its paces to put on a performance from Animal Farm for the school. I remember we used Shernborne school to rehearse in and when we finally performed for the school, gave a creditable performance for a bunch of cynical 15 year olds. It was a very happy time for me and though I never enjoyed the book particularly, I did enjoy our brief time as budding actors being put through the same rigours as any troupe being groomed for the West End.

It was a happy introduction to the village which became a regular destination on bike rides and family walks.

Hope to visit again soon.
