			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Sheila Ruskin and David Wood<br />
1st &#8211; 3rd April 2004<br />
Solihull Methodist Church Hall</strong></p>
<p>A most glorious, galoobrious and utterly crumbobblious Musical Play for Children of All Ages based on Edward Lear’s verses and stories.</p>
<p>Brimming over with fun, this play follows the Owl and the Pussycat on their quest for a ring and someone to marry them. They meet a whole host of Lear’s amazing characters (including the Dong with the Luminous Nose, the Quangle Wangle and the Runcible Spoon) whilst trying to evade capture by the villainous, hissable Plum Pudding Flea.</p>
