BARRY CROSSLEY:

An Egg-Cellent Tale

Synopsis:

Mother Goose is enjoying her life in Goslington, with her children, Silly Billy and Jill. Squire Soppy-Sausage keeps increasing the rent and something will need to change fast! Fairy Footloose is on the case and sends Priscilla the Goose to help Mother Goose in her hour of need but ‘greed’ sets in and Mother Goose cannot resist the offer to look young again. A madcap, mayhem filled egg-stravaganze ensues in the action packed fun-filled tale
