Following the success of their collaboration on Robin Hood, David
Wood and Dave and Toni Arthur wrote Jack the Lad, a musical
celebration of Jack, the ubiquitous hero or everyman of English
legend, myth and folklore - from Little Jack Horner, through Jack
and the Beanstalk to Spring Heeled Jack, the Terror of London. The
setting is a gypsy encampment, where a series of Jack tales and
songs are performed by the gypsies to celebrate the 80th birthday
of their senior member - affectionately known as Jack the Lad. The
play, therefore, depicts contemporary gypsy life, as well as
traditional gypsy customs and superstitions, and is a delightful
amalgam of the traditional arts of storytelling, singing and
dancing, with a mumming play, a shadow-mime and puppetry also
employed within the main framework.
