Poppy - Book & Lyrics
by Monty Norman, Peter Nichols
What readers are saying
Readers find the play to be didactic and somewhat tiresome. However, they suggest that it might still be worth watching for its educational value.
Synopsis
Poppy is a celebration of Victorian values and exposes the hypocrisy, racism, drug dealing, money worship and sexual repression of the time through its favourite entertainment form.
Dick Whittington, his man Jack, Sally the Principal Girl, the Dame, two pantomime horses, a flying ballet, a transformation scene and even the traditional song-sheet are all brought on to tell the serious and finally devasting story of the single most profitable crop of the British East India Company.4 women, 6 men
