842.0. "Frank Bell strikes again!!" by REPAIR::SHERGOLD (A new head on the block!) Fri Feb 10 1995 17:16

    Just to let all you Frank Bell fans know he will be back on stage at
    the Haymarket in April starring in "Princess Ida" by Gilbert &
    Sullivan. Frank is playing a fitting character role - he is one of the
    Nasty King Gama's sons Scynthius (Yes honestly!) and he gets to sing a
    song entitled "Fighting is my Trade"??? Those of you who still remember 
    me down there can try and spot me playing the Chamberlain. We have also 
    got another Deccie (Down at the Crescent) in Melanie Such playing 
    Sacharissa (Lovely names aren't they?)
    
    Basingstoke Amateur Op. Soc. is presenting this wonderful pastiche of 
    women wanting to be "Educated". Because of the modern state of women's 
    education (They invariably do much better than us men) most of the old 
    G&S jokes are turned upside down and therefore seem just as funny. They 
    are subtle though, so do not expect to get hit on the head with them.
    
    The show starts Tuesday 4th April and finishes on Saturday 8th, when we
    also have a matinee. Why not get up a party and give Frank a bit of
    hassle, a few boos would not go amiss. Book now to avoid the
    rush.........
