The traditional staff panto was served up after lunch on Mary Ward Day. The staff, under the watchful eye of author, producer, director and general dogsbody, Mr Chris Sykes, had been rehearsing for months - oh no they hadn't!  - oh yes they had! 

Mr Sykes, the drama specialist at St Mary's, takes a modern minimalist to Pantomime rehearsals and he was heard to say after the performance on Tuesday  "I have enjoyed working with the staff since the very first reheasal - it only seems like yesterday"!
