Theres a universal truth that Gang Shows are hard to find,even if you know where they are; if you see what I mean.However they are always worth the trouble to get to them.The trains run from London Bridge to Erith about 40 mins.The trains stop at lots of strange places,remember you are South of the River,"whatever that means ?".Once you get to Erith Station follow the signs to the centre of Town and on the side of an abandoned shop there is a bell push,this will get you a Taxi to Erith School.Once there you are in safe hands.Trevour and his team have just put together the most fantastic Show.The performers look to be having a great time.Theres lots of new material with some old friends.Guys and Dolls gets the 'Thomas Treatment' as does a very early Reader or should I say 'Holborn Rover' 'Lonely Farm';must be seventy six years old,still good fun and the 'sound effects' chap is very anamated,very.'Skool' final first half lots of good ideas and great staging.The Stage is filled with a whole range or stories,tales,songs and rhymes.An Explorer Scout from Leyton gets the Gang Show treatment ;and quite right too.At the end the great transformation takes place.All the Cast there in Uniform part of an ongoing Movement,very important that.At the end 'I got to go' behind the Curtain and to see the sea of proud looking faces.Each one after having their own mind enhancing experience.Better stop reading and catch the train, it's only on this week,remember about the Taxi you will need all your Scouting skills.Oh! and by the way the trains back to london don't run very late.Dr.Stu..
