The story
is about a curse, which came to the people of Samson, one of the Isles
of Scilly, and how two children and the mad Birdman of Bryher managed
to redeem the curse thirty years latter.
It is a story about friendship and trust. It started of when Gracie(Holly
Hutchings) and her friend Daniel(Benjamin Warren) were sailing their
model ships and eventually ended up in the forbidden beach of Rushy.
For that is where the mad Birdman lives. The Gracie's father (Derek
Frood)and mother (Jordan Whyte) told them to stay away from the mad
Birdman(James Walker) who was always talking loudly to himself in
a strange monologue.
Nobody dared come near him. The Birdman always wore a black cape over
his stooped shoulders and a pointed black hat on his head, and he
always walked barefoot.
Wherever he went screaming seagulls surrounded him.
One day a message on the sand sent to Gracie and Daniel from the birdman
started a secret friendship that's when they discovered what he was
really like.
With the help of the Birdman Gracie and Daniel understood what the
curse of Samon was all about.
To know how Gracie brought the curse down on her father you have to
watch this thrilling well-set play it is a delight for all the family.
The children will love this nicely laid out story the d茅cor was simple
but effective and some actors played more than one part, but it does
not effect the overall pleasure you get from watching it.
The music is unbelievably beautiful by Harry Napier; it gives the
finishing touches to this great performance.
