Tickets from Westbury Community Shop
Gates open 5pm
“The show is running and jumping from start to finish, with exuberant stage fighting and some astonishingly quick costume changes. They need to be quick, since the four take on every role themselves, even though the play often demands five or more characters onstage. The set and props are imaginative, the costumes straight out of the dressing up box; it very much feels like playing. The kids in the audience are thrilled, the adults aren’t far behind them.”
