2016 - Hamelin
Welcome to the Golden Age of Hamelin.
The Cheezey Wheezey Cheese factory is going from strength to strength, the dairy is in overdrive and the people are enjoying the spoils of a meteoric rise in the standard of living. The village is heading to the polls and Hamelin’s leading light, Mr Mayor is coasting towards an unimpeded victory at the next election. That is until …. the rats arrive.
This riotous retelling of The Pied Piper breathes new life into the well known tale and reminds us how we get the leaders we deserve and the importance of always keeping your word.
“For the Piper visits everyone
At some time in their life
And if you can’t be trusted
Then you’ll find yourself in strife.
And if you judge the folk of Hamelin
You think they may have erred
Then maybe you should ask yourself
Do you always
Keep your Word?”
