This is a very funny little play which we all enjoyed very much.
An email has been received from Raymond Blakesley ...
It is not often that I look at my computer, but today I did. I received a great surprise; a joyful one. I found that your youth group had performed my play - Big Bad and Little Red.. Normally I would not write but the photographs were so joyful that I had to let you know. The setting was exactly what I wanted, with no scenery, just a small table and two chairs. And the stage left to the children.
What a convincing lot! It looked to be a performance I would have loved.
Will you now tell the cast how perfect they looked. Tell them I have never before written a letter to any other group.
Better thank the adults as well. Don't want them going off in a huff or puff.
With thanks,
Ray Blakesley
