Thick as a Brick - A Musical

She isn't helped by the science-obsessed headmaster, nor by the girl's patent lack of commitment, nor by the lack of funds and resources, but she ploughs doggedly on

A trip to London to take part in a dance competition proves to be a turning point - the girls, though they don't win, gain confidence, and Mary nearly becomes romantically involved with Stacey's dad, Jimmy

With an energetic score by John Pattison and opportunities for dancing, singing and acting, this is and all-round entertainment laced with John Godber's characteristic insight and humour

"... [John Godber's] sharp and funny dialogue ... [John Pattison's] attractive score" ~ The Times
