Canterbury Festival 2011 – CGMS success

CGMS in St. Augustine’s Chapel

CGMS and the cast

Our ‘Angelus, Ave and Salve’ services were very well attended. They had the ring of authenticity in the wonderful mediaeval chapels where we sang. Our appearances in ‘The Dark Entry’ by local actor-playwright Alan Atkins, contributed to the sell-out-success of this event. Pictures above show us in our costumes singing in the chapel of St. Augustine’s, King’s School, and with the cast at the end of the play. Note the lashings of stage-blood on the poison-victims!
