Winter 2016: Creatures of Impulse

Performed as part of 2016 Winter Plays.

Synopsis

A fairy disguised as a disagreeable old woman comes to stay at an inn. When the other characters try to induce her to go on her way, she casts spells over them causing them to behave in ways contrary to their true characters: the shy girl kisses everyone, the coward becomes courageous, the miser generous and so on.
Originally a musical, the score originally consisted of six songs, but when Gilbert published the script of the play in Original Plays, Fourth Series [1911] three had been cut. The music was never published and is now apparently lost.
The Winter 2024 performance was enhanced by an Epilogue, written by Wayne Vander Byl.
