The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company present 'Gentle Harry's Farm' in Conford

About

The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company present their smash hit musical comedy 'Gentle Harry's Farm'. Hilarious theatre with fabulous live music presented by one of the UK's top outdoor theatre companies.

Agnes Church and her very special friend and neighbour, Minnie Heartfelt, just love their boarding school, The Gables School for Jolly Nice Girls! But domestic science college calls - and husbands after that, steady sorts with prospects (like the Hon Ernest Dartford), and children (one of each, of course), then after that the WI (to be useful). But first under the blissful summer blue of Gentle Harry's Farm, amongst the cows and sheep and the sweet hay with magpies chattering their rhymes above - One for sorrow! Two for joy! - they were going to have such a twiffic summer!

Then of all things they find some bounders have burst into the bank in Eastbury and nicked the cash! And the place is swarming with coppers! Bliss! Bliss in abundance! What a cackle! It would be such a summer! Meanwhile the brown eyed cows and the other animals chew - and listen. And the magpies chatter.

Tucked under the Downs in the breathless July of 1957 it will buzz with hilarity, sigh with tenderness and chirrup with gentle satire. Bursting with live music and original songs this brand new version of The Rudes' smash hit musical comedy, first performed in 2011, will be sure to raise a smile….
