In the same vein as "Everybody loves a lover" – the song that earned Doris Day a
Grammy Award nomination in 1958 – Anchor Players believe that "Everybody adores
a variety show".
Old favourites Aubrey Hindle and Jeff Batt have joined talented newcomers
in a romping show of evergreen, modern and operatic song, Gaelic and Spanish dance, violin and flute,
magic and puppetry, comedy and pathos. Indeed something to be savoured by each and all.
The cast of almost twenty, plus a live music trio perform brilliantly under the novel
direction of Belinda Batt assisted by husband Jeff, Lynn Moss and Albert Lintvelt.

The recipe for this multi/mega/fun family treat contains all the ingredients and spices
to kindle the hearts and warm the spirits on a wintry evening or afternoon.
