EVER since The People's Theatre Company first commissioned and produced The Witch's Bogey, it has caught the imagination of the public like no other production and the company was thrilled when recently audiences voted it 'the best family show ever'. The sheer volume of calls and emails requesting its return made a revival inevitable and Arts Council funding granted in August of this year made it all possible. The enthusiasm for The Witch's Bogey is perhaps down to the fact it is a show for people of all ages. With its engaging storyline, catchy songs and quality production it is a show that can be enjoyed by everyone from three to 103. The Witch's Bogey is based on an old fairytale titled 'Baba Yaga and The Little Girl With The Kind Heart'. Baba Yaga is the traditional witch of Russian folk- lore and this story, retold in inimitable fashion by hugely entertaining People's Theatre Company, shows how the malice and cruelty of witchcraft can be overcome by a little magic and, more importantly, a little kindness (which, as we all know, is never to be sneezed at). The Witch's Bogey comes to The Wharf, Tavistock on Wednesday April 9. For further details and to book tickets please contact the box office on 01822 611166.
