The Maid's Story

 

 

The Maid’s Story

A Victorian Melodrama

Life above and below stairs in 19th century Waldron, featuring a Gothic mix of poverty and great riches, cruelty and unhappiness, a fatherless child, a runaway, a rate riot, a mysterious death, a louche visitor from London, the shocking depravity of the waltz, and a lost jewel!

How can Sarah and Maud escape from their evil father? Whatever happens to Pa Goatcher? Will Sarah keep her baby? Can the banker’s son from London find happiness in his 43-bedroomed mansion? Will it be saucepans at dawn between Mrs Maynard and Mrs Butler? And just who is the mysterious Baron Renfrew?

Well, you're too late to find out the answers first-hand, because the play was performed in the very centre of Waldron village, on

13th, 14th and 15th July 2006
