The Magic Faraway Tree

Post by Tony Summerfield »

I have just been sent the poster below by Georgina Hargreaves. A bit short notice I'm afraid. but if anyone lives in the area they might be tempted. Georgina says that she will be going to all performances!

Wish I lived nearer - it would be very interesting to see how the Faraway Tree stories have been adapted for the stage!

Sounds interesting. Where is Romilly anyway? I couldn't help noticing that the cast list comprises Joe, Beth and Fran whereas the blurb at the top names Joe, Bessie and Fran. I wonder which name they are actually using.

Looking at the link there are some characters in the cast list we've never met before!
The theatre is in or near Stockport by the look of it.
