“Rehearsals are well underway”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year we are putting on Mother Goose, a brand new version written by Ian Noble and Produced by his wife Siobhan. You might think that you know the story, but read on to find out …<\/p>\n

“The most kind and generous person in the whole world, Gertrude Goose, has been running the same farm all her life with her son Ben and farmhands Ricky, Marge, Sid and Tina. She\u2019s like a Mother to the whole village, which is how she earned her nickname Mother Goose. But no matter how hard she works the crops aren\u2019t growing, the chickens aren\u2019t laying and the cows won\u2019t give milk. It\u2019s got so bad she may have to sell the farm and lose her beloved old friend Priscilla the goose. Let\u2019s hope that something comes up soon because the ruthless property developer Cordelia Brassneck-Whinge is planning to buy the farm and flatten it to build a new Golf club and spa.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the underworld the restless Demon Zagan is arguing with a couple of Fairies called Pip and Diamond about how horrible the human race has become. He makes a bet that the Fairies can\u2019t find anyone who is happy with their life. But hey, this shouldn\u2019t be a problem right? Because the Fairies just happen to have heard of Mother Goose and how caring and charitable she is. They set off to find her and win the bet.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
