AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Learning lessons about good behaviour has never been so absurd and amusing all at the same time. Arena Theatre Company team with the absurd imagination of comic writer Claudia O'Doherty to bring to life Hilare Belloc’s early 20th century satirical poems about wayward children and their just deserts. Expertly poking tongues at authority figures and pompous types, this mock-moralistic, vividly colourful show-within-a-show is told by a dysfunctional family troupe of four aided by their time machine.'
