Queen Rat wants to rule London Town. Oh yes she does! And she seems to be succeeding. But wait who's this? Dick Whittington with his faithful cat Tommy is on the scene. No more rats, they all live happily ever after. But no, it can't be that simple and of course it isn't. Will Sarah the Cook's cooking win over Cooke the ship's Captain? Will Dick and Alice become an item? Will Idle Jack ever do any work? Just what does happen to Queen Rat?

Spirit Level by Pam Valentine
Directed by Chris Shinn


When famous crime writer Jack Cameron and his wife Susie drown in a boating accident, they are refused entry into heaven - Jack is a card-carrying atheist - so they return to haunt the country cottage where they lived. Life is dull. Their only pleasure comes from spooking the estate agent and frightening away any would-be tenants.

Things change when Susie persuades Jack to allow a young couple, Simon, an aspiring crime writer, and Flic, his pregnant wife, to move in. Inevitably Susie and Jack become drawn into their lives, and whilst Simon has writer's block, Marcia, Flic's monstrous mother, is doing her best to separate them.

With no hope of success, Suzie calls up her Guardian Angel who, when she arrives, is not the angelic figure one would expect. She tells Jack he can help Simon write his book but by an unorthodox method which causes moments of utter chaos and confusion.

Christmas arrives, so does a snowstorm, and so does the baby. Then comes a moment of crisis and Jack finds himself doing something that no card-carrying atheist would ever admit to. But will it help...?

Chris Shinn directs this witty and poignant comedy. Open auditions will take place at Tillage Hall on Sunday 4th February from 2pm - full details can be found here.
