Gill's story: From Peter Pan to Pinocchio's Gepetto in Murcia
Gill Brown is a member of the ADAPT Theatre Group in San Pedro del Pinatar. Here she tells her story
“After 35 years of nursing, I came to Spain to retire and slow down. However, after being press ganged by friends into attending a rehearsal just to see how it worked... I was hooked, and life has become anything but slow.“I have found myself doing so many unexpected things, like making scenery, costumes and props and I’m always amazed at how innovative the group is with ideas and sourcing materials. I feel a real purpose in memorising the script and delight in the opportunity to learn and practise my lines in Spanish.
“My family is convinced I’m an up and coming superstar in Spain and who am I to disillusion them? The icing on the cake is knowing that our group of amateur actors are helping raise funds to support local school children and families in need here.”
This year’s panto, which is performed in both English and Spanish, is ‘Snow White and the 7 Guiris’ to be performed at the end of November (more details to follow soon).
ADAPT Theatre Group is sponsored by the ADAPT Metal Detecting group and all money raised goes to local charities.
