Organised this year around Waggoners Wells to commemorate
the centenary of the acquisition this property by The National Trust in 1919
and on Hindhead Common in conjunction with the second
Haslemere Walking Festival, September 2019
- see pictures from our previous performances in 2008
and 2013
The walk was organised in association with the Friends of Ludshott Common and
the National Trust.
We were blessed with another gloriously sunny day, even though it was a Bank
Holiday!

The cast lunching in the car park before the show |
The dynamic duo at large again! Jo Smith and his cardboard twin Sir Robert Hunter. |
Arthur Conan Doyle (Cavan Syrad) and George Bernard Shaw (Rod Sharp) discuss a local amateur production of 'As You Like It' which the latter had seen and not enjoyed. |
We meet a pair of broomsquires (Mary & Simon Coyte) in their camp |
and some surprisingly similar Commoners, this time agitated about incursions by folk from the neighbouring manor. |
Sir Robert meets Flora Thompson (Mel White) by the wishing well |
and Alfred Tennyson (David Burnham) on a perambulation from Grayshott Farm. |
Louis Clist as the 'merry tinker' cooks his bacon |
while Dil Williamson-Smith recounts his tale from Heatherley an ethereal voice from above! |
Sir Robert chats to the audience while waiting for back-markers to catch up there were estimated to be around 40 in the audience |

The walk is to take place as part of the Haslemere Walking Festival

Mary and Simon Coyte were the Broomsquires in residence |
The Sailor (Nick Webb) is murdered a bit publicly! |
The perpetrators (Neil Hardinge, Zak White & Martin Wellen) flee. Did anybody see them do it?? |
Two women (Jill Turner and Rachel Spiller in this case) were, apparently, the only witnesses. You can just about make them out in the crowd! |
Redundant cast members (including Flora Thompson!) follow the departing crowd. |
