Notes
-
Patch Theatre Company uses six Pamela Allen stories in this production: Mr McGee, Alexander's Outing, Belinda, Brown Bread and Honey, Inside Mary Elizabeth's House and Mr McGee and the Biting Flea. The Company builds the presentation of these stories around 'a mix of musical treatments (from barbershop to Beach Boys) linked to a range of visual elements common to children's play (toys, dolls, cushions, dress-ups, play-dough, bowls, pans, utensils, balloons etc.). The stories emerge from dozens of suitcases, trunks and crates as three curious McGee characters explore their contents.'
