Synopsis: | Simple Simon takes us to Nursery Rhyme Land and is an old-fashioned pantomime like they used to be. The general trend of the story is the build up to the pie making competition, with all the usual happenings along the way. There are lots of interesting character parts, some small, some not so small, and plenty of activity and singing for the chorus. The King is planning a big party for his daughters 18th birthday, there is to be a big pie making competition for all the males over 18; and the winner gets to marry Princess Petunia. | |||||
