As shepherds washed their socks by night!
Three shepherds sit on a hill complaining about the weather, their sore feet and anything else they can think of. A weary stranger comes along asking to sleep by their fire and, being a generous bunch they let him stay for the night. However, little do they know their guest is actually notorious sneak-sheep-thief on the look out for a lamb to take home for his supper. Will the shepherds realize in time and rescue their flock? Or will the intruder make off with the woolly loot!
Aimed at introducing medieval theatre to a younger audience this adapted version of "the Second Shepherd's Play" by the Wakefield Master" used folk music, dance and puppetry to bring to life this mystery play that sees the shepherds from the Nativity story recast as a bunch of bumbling clowns set amidst a farcical story of theft and disguise.
Directed and adapted by Natalie York
