Enchanting! (8/8 people found this helpful)
This has to be one of the best play scripts I have ever read! I personally had the honour of playing the part of Moley in an amatuer production of this script and, looking back, it was one of the best parts I have ever played. This script is crammed full of comedy, though it does seem to pass by some people. I am sure that I myself missed many of these clever and topical jokes. One of the cracker lines which comes to mind is "The lady on the barge is the barge lady". An example of one of the topical jokes is when the weasals are beating up Moley and howl out, "We don't like little black animals." This script is very, very clever. While it will pass childrens eyes as harmless yarn of the English countryside the adults will get entertainment from the hidden jokes. Along with this script there goes a score of beautiful music. One thing which may worry other amatuers is the set requirments. For example a punt, a barge, a horse drawn cart and even a train all take a part in the story but this script is written in such a way that the audience are almost sub-consciously forced to use their imagination. I recomend this to those who love to perform or even to those who just like to read.
