Old Father Time - A Musical Play
by David Wood
Synopsis
More a musical play for children than a pantomime, yet with lots of audience participation, Old Father Time is set in and around London and in various different centuries.
The inconceivable happens when Big Ben stops!
Old Father Time
, who lives in Big Ben and controls time, realizes that he is locked in combat with the villainous Flying Sauceress, who manages to steal his almanac, containing the mystic secrets of his trade.
The colourful storyline takes Old Father Time, his charlady, Mrs. Sparkle, and his Watchdog on a
quest through time, involving cavemen, Guy Fawkes, a baby Dinosaur and Dodger and Bodger, a pair of buskers.
Press Reviews
"David Wood…has an uncanny knack of knowing what children will like...he’s written another winner…completely original storyline."
— Romford Recorder
"A hit with the kids…a passer-by hearing the deafening response of a packed audience might have been forgiven for thinking that here was a reception committee of weeny-boppers greeting the Osmonds."
— Romford Observer
"…a roaring response."
— Irving Wardle, The Times
