AUDIENCES may feel they are seeing double when "Daisy Pulls It Off" reaches the stage later this month. Two members of the nearly-all-girl cast of the 20s comedy are Margaret Hall!

Margaret No 1 is the eponymous heroine Daisy.

Margaret No 2 is dumb Dora, one of a cluster of school pals in the play which forms the second half of St Joseph's Players Spring Double and runs from May 20-23.

Margaret No 1 is a long-time member of the Leigh company, having featured in several pantomimes including principal girl in "Dick Whittington" back in 1991. She has also been a leading character in a rich variety of plays, from a flustered maid in the classic "When We Are Married" to the rebel Queenie in "This Happy Breed" and a series of murder suspects in a trio of Agatha Christie mysteries.

Margaret No 2 - now known as Margaret Clark-Hall - is in her first play with the company, having joined for the pantomime "Jack & The Beanstalk" earlier this year.

"They are very different," said director Doreen Johnson.

Tickets (£3) are available at Boardman's, Bradshawgate, Leigh.
