Poppy

Cockney groom, Jack Idle wants to marry the school teacher, Sally Forth. Sally wants to marry her guardian Dick. Dick wants to marry money. His savage, sexy mother, Lady Dodo wants to hunt any man or animal rash enough to cross her sights. Queen Victoria and the Chinese Manchu dynasty fight over trade and tradition. Drama and comedy mingle as the audience is seduced to expect the pleasures of ‘pretty girls, true love, a fairy story’ and then is eventually left to ponder that neither history, life or pantomime stories necessarily work out as expected.
