Spring Tour of Germany

The four week trip to Darmstadt, Frankfurt and Munich was very successful with a wide variety of shows and workshops in both English and German. This year the shows varied with ones in Kindergartens, Primary Schools and Libraries "auf Deutsch" plus others in Secondary Schools and Libraries in English. Also this year a new storytelling show of English stories for adults - "Tea with Mustard"! - a mix of shortbread biscuits, songs, stories and a pot of tea! Plus, during the tour, a memorable day off climbing in deep, deep snow up the 'Laber' - a 1683 metre high mountain near Oberammergau. Wonderful climb and views resulting in an exhilarated but exhausted Major Mustard!

Cinderella

The new version of "Cinderella" was very well received during its Christmas Tour. The weeks spent by the Fairy Godmother rehearsing and perfecting her magic were well worth it as her "transformations" had to be seen to be believed! Also well worth seeing is the wonderful new set designed by John Crane with its amazing scene changes. Do try and see Cinderella this year!" A show not to be missed.

Christmas Tour

Final rehearsals are now well underway for the new "Cinderella" show which is one of the main attractions of this year's Christmas Tour. There are still a few dates available in the early part of December - if you'd like a Christmas-time performance from Major Mustard - get in touch!

Site Relaunch!

Here it is! The web site is now refreshed and up and running. My thanks to Steve Pitchford for all his excellent work in designing and relaunching the Major Mustard website. Keep an eye on it for up and coming Major Mustard news.

Summer Update

A busy summer and autumn lies ahead with a lot of work being done on producing the new version of Cinderella (ready for the Christmas tour) and also on redesigning the website. This website work is a big project and I hope everyone likes the results ( do email me any thoughts or suggestions).

I shall be mostly touring around the Midlands this summer and amongst the shows open to the public are performances in Corby, Ilmington, Shrewsbury and Bromsgrove. So do contact me if you would like exact details of time and venue etc and hopefully I may see some of you then.

Have a good summer and let's hope for some really good weather!

Contact via email

For some years Major Mustard has had two email addresses - the current one, which is still the one to use
< mm@majormustard.com > and the old one which is quoted in the last brochure. That one, which was < .... brum.com > , is now defunct. If you use the "brum.com" email address please can you delete it and update your contact list with the current
< mm@majormustard.com > Many thanks.

New Project! Cinderella with cgi puppets! (ie. cool, gloved, impressive!)

This summer I'm working again with artist and puppetmaker extraordinaire, John Crane, to present a brand new version of the old favourite "Cinderella". We hope this will be ready for the coming Christmas season. This new version will have magical effects from the Fairy Godmother, a Prince who is charming (in his own mind!), fabulous frogs (?!?) and a twist at the end of the story. Look out for it this December - coming to a palace near you!
