Synopsis
Five delightful tales including Peter Rabbit, The Tailor of Gloucester and Jemima Puddle-Duck are interwoven with the fascinating life of their creator, Beatrix Potter, in this enchanting, enlightening entertainment for all ages. The play moves back and forth from the fantasy world she created to the intriguing story of Beatrix Potter herself, who overcame her lonely, strict childhood—in which her writings and drawings were discouraged in the male-oriented Victorian era—to become the most widely read children's author of all times. We also meet Beatrix's governess, Annie (who narrates the play), and Annie's children for whom many of the stories were originally written. Both entertaining and educational, this play is a must for any child—or adult—who has ever fallen under the magical spell of Peter Rabbit and his many friends. Simply staged, this play is ideal for any space and every budget.

Customer Reviews
Loved this show! Very cute, funny and heartwarming.
... Our audience stayed glued to their seats even when the air conditioning wasn't working. A true testament to the quality of this production in SC heat!
Excellent script. Great for a cast of 20! Besides the principals, each child had three roles.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
Our biggest struggle set wise was the car. If making your own out of cardboard make sure it is STABLE. Lots of breaks.
