Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lunchtime

There was a full house this afternoon for the Drama Dynamics Summer Show presentation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Apologies for the poor quality of the Diary's pics but I only dropped in quickly on the way back from Dublin, so it was a small camera job. But fun.

(Also, just realised that I called it 'Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' yesterday. Apologies to Charlie ...)
