Silly Cow

Norbury Theatre, Droitwich

Tue 27 Sep to Sat 01 Oct

Doris Wallace has everything a tough tabloid columnist could want: a toy boy with a regular supply of Colombian, a pretty personal assistant who might share her libidinous preferences, and the prospect of her own television show. Being sued by an actress for libel is a petty annoyance, but Doris puts her in her place by revealing her ample cleavage as she flirts with the judge and spouts populist bravado. She is ready to celebrate her victory in court when things begin to go wrong: television materials are missing, a pal she double crossed wants revenge, her accountant is about to pull a fast one and those she has defamed in her column tie her to a chair during her show and dish out the kind of humiliation she inflicts on others. This is a hilarious adult play by the Lawrence Olivier Award-winning author Ben Elton.

All & Sundry's annual extravaganza returns with a brand new family pantomime. Captain Hook has long since been defeated by Peter pan and banished from Neverland but now he’s returned even more nasty than before and he is determined to wreak his revenge on Peter. To help him in his task, he enlists the help of two of the nastiest pirates ever to sail the seas. Hook is still wary of the ticking crocodile and has hired Australian crocodile hunter Croc Fundee to capture the beast. Meanwhile, Peter Pan enjoys another day having a lie-in after binge-watching the latest Netflix series. It seems that since defeating Hook and his pirates, Peter has become bored and no longer bothers to join in adventures with Tinkerbell and The Lost Boys, In fact, he doesn’t even bother to fly anymore because it’s too tiring. Peter discovers Hook has returned, but because he hasn’t flown in ages, he has now lost the ability to fly. In order to regain the power of flight, he must travel to the Neverlandee tribe’s sacred cave and drink from the magical spring. Peter and his friends travel through the Neverland Jungle, beset with a wild gorilla to reach the cave, however once inside, Hook dynamites the only entrance sealing Peter and his friends inside, along with the crocodile. This version of Peter Pan has Peter’s feet firmly on the floor, but will that enable Hook to finally defeat his once airborne adversary?
