The Parker Plan
by Gwyn Arch and
James Owen
lyrics by Fred
Tysh
produced
by Phyl Walshaw
| This musical play
was written primarily for production by school dramatic
societies. It was chosen by Lindsey Rural Players as being
suitable for performances by the younger members of the company,
supported by a few of the more experience adult actors.
The story is based on the efforts of a group of village children and youths, to transform an Old Forge into a useful village hall by a great deal of determination and no little ingenuity. It is the success story of Peter Parker, the school failure who made a name for himself. |
