May saw the Spring show of ‘Never Too Late’ written by Wendy Braid and performed at Meldreth Village Hall. This was a show of two halves, the first set the scene of a boarding home for failing celebrities who were at risk of losing their home. The second half was the show they put on in order to raise the money to keep their home open. Plenty of glitz and glamour as the second half opened with ‘Chorus line’ and ‘All that Jazz’, closely followed by an array of musical entertainment, comedy, magic and dancing to delight the audience. Well done to the MADS team for yet another fun filled entertaining evening! Watch out for the MADS Christmas pantomime 2014
