The story

England, 1537.
 
All Sebastian de Beauvais wanted to do was to drink, hunt, fight and make love. He didn't reckon on meeting Abby Parker.
 
Abby was different.
 
Abby came from the 1990's.
 
She knew what would happen to him. She knew when.
But if she told him, the consequences could be terrifying.
 
And that was just the start of it.

The show features all original music with a wide range of emotional levels. From the moving 'Spinning',Ysanne Carniss-Usherwood as Abby, 'Spinning' (Riverside Players, 1993) 'The Chase is Over' and 'The Rules Gave the Game Mick Godfrey as Sebastian, 'The Chase is Over' (Riverside Players, 1993)Away' to the big chorus numbers, 'House of History', 'Burning round in Circles', 'Show me a Crone', and even a comic interlude number,
'Poor Jake's No Fool'.
