RIDING LIGHTS THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
GOOSE CHASE
A feather-flying tale of the first Christmas
 By Antony Dunn
Directed by Bridget Foreman
Designed by Sean Cavanagh
Musical Director Emma Leaman-Brown
In the depths of a Russian winter, what on earth could make frail old Baboushka cross hundreds of miles of snow on foot? And why is she armed only with a feather duster and a set of Russian dolls?
The situation’s tense. The birth of a harmless baby’s got the king in a really foul temper. There’s trouble brewing in the shape of Igor, oppressed singer and stablehand. And the closer Baboushka gets to the end of her mission, the more it seems the only person she can trust is, well, a goose... because not everyone in the race to find the baby is bringing gifts... Goose Chase is a startling reworking of the famous Russian folk story, served up richly spiced with traditional songs and carols. Riding Lights tells the tale with a characteristic blend of riotous humour, mystery, slapstick comedy and magical glimpses into the heart of the first Christmas.
GOOSE CHASE runs from 24/11/2007 to 22/12/2007
These performances are all open to the public.The show will also be touring to around 50 primary schools throughout November & December. Poster design (c) Polly Dunbar 2006
