Four actors multi-role to create fast and furious comedy in an upbeat and up-to-date adaptation of The Wizard of Oz.

Set in the magical land of Oz, this production will have plenty of fascinating characters, puppetry, silly visual humour and a script crafted for the company by an experienced playwright to be self-aware and relevant for an audience in 2020.

To make sure everyone is kept safe, there will social distancing measures taken for arriving and exiting the event.

The audience area will also be set up for social distancing, and ticket sales will be limited to ensure the abbey can continue to observe the guidance and provide the safest possible event experience for visitors, performers and staff.
