Description The piece was first presented as 'a confection for radio' in 1979 with Ruth Cracknell and the Seymour Group. It was published in 1980 with illustrations by Victoria Roberts, and although there have been plans to present it as a music/theatre piece, our production will be the first realisation of those plans. Vincent Plush is re-scoring the music and members of the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music will form the Quartet.
