Mother Goose

Perth Theatre presents Mother Goose Fri 29 Nov - Tue 31 Dec 2024

Writer & Director: Barrie Hunter

Designer: Becky Minto

Musical Director: Alan Penman

It's "Mother" Gabi Goose's final day as manager of McGregory's Eggery (Earthshire's Most EGGxcellent Eggs!), and she's looking forward to retiring after many happy years' loyal service. But hold on - who's this that's just turned up? It's Greta Garbage, the new owner, and she's got some rather worrying plans for the business. No more free ranging Geese - she's caging them all, and if you're not careful, she'll cage you too!

Gabi can wave goodbye to her pension and her lovely wee cottage - Greta's got her beady, greedy eye on that too. So Gabi and Grayson (her bird-daft, Springwatch obsessed son!) are on the road, homeless, jobless, with only a rather gassy Goose for company - Gloria, who's never laid an egg in her life (but may have a few surprises in store - who knows?)

Is Greta as evil as she appears? Can her daughter Gaia make her see sense? Has anyone seen kindly Mr McGregory? He appears to have vanished into thin air! And what's that up there, flying in formation? Could it be... Wild Geese, on a mission? All these, and other questions will be answered in this year's festive EGGstravaganza at Perth Theatre, so come along and have a gander at Mother Goose!
