A Pantomime by Graham Barraclough
Directed by Lorraine Slipper
All is not well in the village of Dillydally. Granny Hood tries to mobilize the village into tracking down the werewolf that can be heard howling in the forest. Unfortunately, she has to deal with incompetent policemen Beadle Dumm and Beadle Dee, the even more incompetent Barney Branch and a group of villagers who are more intent on partying than worrying about wolves, while also having to protect her giant prize-winning cheddar from some rats who should have been in Dick Whittington but have lost their way. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s managed to build her cottage right on the spot where retired highwayman Dick Turnip has buried his loot. His devilish plan to use the rumours of a werewolf to scare the whole town away so he can dig up his ill-gotten gains almost work, but are foiled in the end by our hero, Rowan the woodsman, and heroine Holly Hood. And what is the secret does the werewolf hold?
