Once upon a time, there were seven unhappy washerwomen. They had far too much washing to do and the owner of the laundry, Mr Balthazar Tight, was simply dreadful! So, one day, they decide to go on strike.
Delighted by their newfound freedom, they undertake a wild rampage through the land. Seemingly uncontrollable and unstoppable, the Wild Washerwomen careen through village after village with their goat cart, stealing hats, climbing trees, swinging on bell ropes and having a marvellous time! Nobody can stand in their way. That is until seven woodcutters come along with a cunning plan up their sleeves, eager to teach the washerwomen a lesson. But perhaps the washerwomen will teach the woodcutters a thing or two instead, and everyone might just live happily ever after…
A brand new adaptation of this wonderful, anarchic, classic children’s picture book. A family musical with lots of singing and running about, heaps of silliness, and people getting very dirty and also very clean.
