The cast among others featured well-known West-End actor, Bruce Graham as the Earl of Mountararat. A patriotic yet disingenuous extravaganza, produced by David Thomas with rousing music, conducted by Musical Director, Jonathan Bungard.
The Angel, The Dean of Iniquity

In May 2013, Joanna was asked to appear in a lead role as The Angel in The Dean of Iniquity, or Confessions of a Cookham Parish Constable.
The play was directed by Val Pirie for The Tarrystone Players as part of Cookham Festival.
A new comedy, written by local playwright Jonathan Yates, the play was based on the real-life diaries of a 19th Century Cookham Parish Constable, William Gibbins and set to the music of Gilbert & Sullivan, with suitably irreverent words, including such favorites as I Am The Very Model of A Cookham Parish Constable, A Wandering Villain I, A Poor Farmer’s Lot Is Not A Happy One and Joanna’s solo finale: I Have A Song To Sing O
