The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company Present their smash hit musical comedy Gentle Harry’s Farm.

It’s a breathless July in 1957. Agnes and Minnie just loved their boarding school, The Gables School for Jolly Nice Girls! But first, before domestic science college - and husbands after that, they would have such a twiffic summer under the blissful blue of Gentle Harry's Farm!

Then of all things they find some bounders have burst into the bank in Eastbury and nicked the cash! And the place is swarming with coppers! Bliss! Bliss in abundance! Meanwhile the brown eyed cows chew - and the magpies chatter...

It will buzz with hilarity, sigh with tenderness and chirrup with gentle satire.
