Poor Mother Goose has no money or husband to support her. She lives in a cottage in Gooseland with her son Jack. One day fortune shines upon her frugal existence in the shape of a golden egg-laying goose named Precilla.
The Squire and the evil Demon each make plans to relieve Mother Goose of her new-found wealth. Will they succeed? Will the good and kind fairy save the day? Or will Mother Goose's goose be cooked by the King of Gooseland? Will Jack ever get the girl? Why does Tommy baby-sit the Squire's wife? Do Gretchen's brothers and sisters ever get a new daddy? Does Jill? And what has the Isle of Wight got to do with anything?
To find out either book your tickets for the best Hiss and Boo panto around, or audition for a part on Sunday 5 October at 3 pm or Monday 6 October at 8 pm.
Nomes auditions will be October 9, 10 and 11.
