A CAST of mostly Piltonians will tread the boards at The Green Man Inn this weekend for the annual Pilton Panto, and this year it's Cinderella.

Expect a traditional fairytale classic complete with all the usual heroes, villains and damsel in distress. Director Hamish Patrick is excited about the production:

"The most striking thing we've done is turn the skittle alley into a sort of grand-scale Victorian model theatre. Ken Gaunt of Furnfix designed this set and it was painted by local artist Tim Saunders. It really is a sight to behold.

"Also, thanks to our local costume designer Albert Linacre, the cast will very much look the part."
