CVYT 2007 Summer Production of

Delahaye The Dog

There is a cast of nine kids in 'Delahaye the Dog' and their ages range from 8 - 11. For some of the cast this is their first performance with Calder Youth Valley Theatre and it will in fact be their first time on stage!!!

The play is lively and has been fun to do and everyone involved has gone away from rehearsals humming the catchy songs. There is a wide range of characters from King Adda - Adda to Delahaye the Dog and as the cast is so small it has meant that everyone involved has a speaking part which has been a great opportunity for the kids to show their talent.

The Characters

Nina Horsfall plays King Adda - Adda - the impoverished king of Rottingdean. He may not have a palace or a crown, but he does have very loyal friends. His motto is “Don’t get mad-get even”!
Eden James plays Pib - the a fearless daredevil. He wants to know what they’re gonna do about that big, bad bully Delahaye.
Harriet Thorpe plays Laddie - who is loyal, but a little timid. When Delahaye bites him on the bbb..biggest part of his body, he’s upset and afraid to go home.
Martha Osbourne plays the Narrator and the Royal Cook.

Delahaye's Gang

Bertie Yates plays Delahaye - who is a ruffian, with a sweet tooth and anyone who crosses his path had better watch out! His motto is ‘Don’t get caught
Lizzie Olley plays the Professor - " They call me 'The Brains" and the Royal Baker
Phoebe Wilson plays Mr Speedy - "'I'm an ace at the wheel"
Olivia Naylor plays High Maintenance - "'I was born to shop"
Andrew Olley plays Mr Muscles - "'Don't mess me about "
