Synopsis

Mother Goose Land is all astir over the rivalry between miserly, mean-hearted Uncle Barnaby and young, handsome, gentle Alan for the love of Mistress Mary Quite Contrary. Getting in the act are Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep, and as many other Mother Goose characters as the director wants to use, along with Barnaby's clownish hit men, Roderigo and Gonzorgo. Trying to escape, Alan and Mary have to pass through the dangerous Spider's Forest. Even in Toyland they are not safe, and the fast action and beautiful music continue. Although the play starts with a Christmas tree, it is not really a Christmas story; it is suitable for any season of the year.
