It’s time that the small village of Long Ducking had a plan, a village plan, a plan for tourism, leisure, sport, healthcare and education. A plan for the future! At least that’s what village stalwarts Timothy & Cynthia think. No one else seems all that bothered. Even local eccentric Bernard missed the first meeting and he always shows up if there’s free tea and biscuits.
Bringing Long Ducking into the twenty first century is going to be an up hill struggle. The village shop scrapes by, the pub is on its last legs and the one and only land mark, the clock on the village green, stopped working in August 1964 which just happens to be the date that Bernard was first abducted by aliens.
Will Timothy and Cynthia find help with the arrival of an award winning conceptual artist from London who has moved into the Old Creamery?
The mundane and ordinary meet the weird and eccentric in our new rural touring play
“All is thrown into confusion as the six characters mix and interact in this ingeniously plotted drama. This small company, thoughtful, beautiful to watch, unique, is one worth looking out for.” Carla Phillips, Granary Theatre, Wells Next the Sea
