Synopsis
Set in the recent past, Jack & Jill need money so they steal Bo Peep’s sheep because these are not just your average everyday sheep; they are all singing, all dancing sheep. Bo Peep enlists the help of Georgie Porgie, Miss Muffet and Yankee Doodle Dandy and the chase is on! On the way we learn that there is a lot more to the Nursery Rhymes than what we were told.
BO PEEP is a funny, modern script for a large cast and can be easily edited to suit your group.
