Utopians Unlimited present “The Mikado”
The fantastic Utopians Unlimited are back with us at St Johns, this time performing The Mikado
The date of the performance is the 24th February at 19:30.
Nanki-Poo loves Yum-Yum but she’s betrothed to Ko-Ko, the new Lord High Executioner. When the Mikado orders a beheading, Nanki-Poo and Ko-Ko try to come to an arrangement that doesn’t involve anyone losing their head – literally!
Stand with Ukraine
WE NEED YOUR HELPI
When people in war zones have to flee the bombs, they leave with whatever they can carry. Larger sizes have to be left behind. Even tiny donations make a difference e.g. If everyone who can donate, gave £1 or £2 worth of goods, we would quickly have enough to fill a lorry. Lorries leave UK every few weeks all year round.
There is a collection area at the back of church labelled “Ukraine”
Please Donate!
