Jack the Lad

Bag om Jack the Lad

Following the success of their collaboration on Robin Hood, David Wood and Dave and Toni Arthur wrote Jack the Lad, a musical celebration of Jack, the ubiquitous hero or everyman of English legend, myth and folklore - from Little Jack Horner, through Jack and the Beanstalk to Spring Heeled Jack, the Terror of London. The setting is a gypsy encampment, where a series of Jack tales and songs are performed by the gypsies to celebrate the 80th birthday of their senior member - affectionately known as Jack the Lad. The play, therefore, depicts contemporary gypsy life, as well as traditional gypsy customs and superstitions, and is a delightful amalgam of the traditional arts of storytelling, singing and dancing, with a mumming play, a shadow-mime and puppetry also employed within the main framework.

Beskrivelse af Jack the Lad

Following the success of their collaboration on Robin Hood, David Wood and
Dave and Toni Arthur wrote Jack the Lad, a musical celebration of Jack, the
ubiquitous hero or everyman of English legend, myth and folklore - from
Little Jack Horner, through Jack and the Beanstalk to Spring Heeled Jack, the
Terror of London.
The setting is a gypsy encampment, where a series of Jack tales and songs
are performed by the gypsies to celebrate the 80th birthday of their senior
member - affectionately known as Jack the Lad. The play, therefore,
depicts contemporary gypsy life, as well as traditional gypsy customs and
superstitions, and is a delightful amalgam of the traditional arts of storytelling,
singing and dancing, with a mumming play, a shadow-mime and
puppetry also employed within the main framework.
