Synopsis: 

 

The story of poor Mother Goose , who is befriended by Priscilla, the goose that lays golden eggs. Although suddenly rich, she finds that wealth cannot buy her beauty and in desperation, she finally swops Priscilla for the promise of youth and beauty, as offered by the evil wizard, Hassan. However, she soon realises that beauty is not everything and that she must get Priscilla back and after a visit to King & Queen Gander in Gooseland, Priscilla agrees to return and they all live happily ever after.

 

BHTC NOTES:  Donald Stewart played the

role of Montezuma on the first night with

David Plank resuming the role for the rest

of the performances.

 

PLAYWRIGHT:

 

This script was adapted by June Colledge

from her mother's (Marjorie Ristorie)

professional script.  It has since been

adapted by Suzi Allan, (June's daughter)

whos continuing work keeps our pantos

hilariously funny and topical,

but always traditional.
