The Famous Five: A New Musical
Organised by : Chichester Festival Theatre
Based on Enid Blytons multi-million-selling novels, this brand new musical written by Elinor Cook, with music and lyrics by Theo Jamieson, is an exciting and heart-warming family treat celebrating adventure, bravery and friendship for everyone aged 7+.
George isnt
happy at the idea of being lumbered with three unknown cousins for the summer,
and her devoted dog Timmy agrees. Her cousins arent keen on the prospect
either. Julians struggling to live up to the responsibility of being the
eldest; Anne is working out how to make her voice heard; while Dick would like
everyone to stop fussing and focus on more important things. Like sandwiches.
But out in the
bay lies Kirrin Island, with a ruined castle rumoured to harbour secrets. And
it quickly becomes clear that five heads are better than one when it comes to
solving mysteries
Soon the Famous
Five are on a daring mission with the future of the planet at stake!
Tamara Harvey,
