‘Dwarf’, 87, survives stage fall
Jack Green was playing the role of Dwarf number one in the opening night of the Lapworth Players’ late-season pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, when the incident occurred last Wednesday.
Shock filled the village hall as the performance halted while a cast member trained in first aid attended to the pensioner, who was taken to hospital while the play continued with six dwarves.

“It’s been great to be in the group but I doubt I will do another play – unless they give me the juvenile lead!”
