Mildred! The power of a dream.
A celebration of the extraordinary achievement that created one of England’s most iconic church ceilings – right here in little old Huntingfield, in St Mary’s Church. With thanks to Rev Linda Berry, whose idea it was to commission this play, to the Blythe Valley Team Choir, who sang supportively and to a marvellously hard-working and talented cast and crew, who made it such fun, and so good.
Most of the cast, in the finale (some key players are out of shot).
