CAROLINE PRINCE-WRIGHT - "Prim Spring"
 |
Caroline has, in her opinion, the rather irritating
distinction of being the tallest member of the society. Together with Debbie,
another equally tall ex-CATS actor, they played trees which was very
appropriate and Munchkins which was not, in "The Wizard of Oz".
In the
2002 CATS Talent Show, Caroline and Jon Keen mourned the fact that they were
not considered suitable for the romantic leads, in the theme of 'Brief
Encounter', complete with atmospheric music! Whether or not any future
directors have taken the hint is unknown, but she did manage to get an onstage
kiss with Simon Heffer in "Out of Focus." It was a very passionate clinch; up
against the kitchen cabinets! That was also the show where she got to wear her
wedding dress again!
Caroline's favourite performance was in "The Ghost
Train" as the Chicago-born mobster, pretending to be a mad Cornish girl, Julia.
She was suitably mad, and then very American - but then came "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" and Caroline turned into the slightly scary and very impressive
Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. Despite the fact that she towered over
Theseus, she still got to wear the best costumes! Caroline's other shows
include "Dick Whittington" (Which meant Oscar for best cameo role in the
Chorus,) "Cinderellium," Dracula, the Panto" "A Chorus of Disapproval" and most
recently "Murdered to Death."
Along with her acting, Caroline has also
done costume design for numerous shows including "Murdered to Death" and can
also do a fine dance routine in top hat, tails and fishnet stockings! One of
Caroline's worst moments on stage was during "Daisy Pulls it Off," when, as
Miss Gibson, the headmistress, she forgot the morning's notices! |
