New Perspectives Theatre Company and Scamp Theatre present Michael Morpurgo's Farm Boy, adapted and directed by Daniel Buckroyd.
It sometimes felt as though time had stood still on the family farm – swallows nesting in the eaves, the old Fordson Tractor quietly rusting in the back of the barn, Grandpa still tending his chickens – that is, until the summer his grandson finished school and came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like on the farm when he was a boy.

Synopsis
I had this pet rabbit once. I used to hold it tight ‘til my knuckles went white. I held it tight so it couldn’t run. But it did. It dug itself out of the mud round the yard. I would have dug my way out and never come back if it wasn’t for her.
A glittery, stocking-filled spectacular with amazing entertainment, rockin' music, fun and frivolity!
