Synopsis: 

Long, long ago there was a war between the King and his parliament. The parliament won the war and the King lost his head. Power fell to the hands of an austere puritan named Cromwell, who despising all revelry and jollity as frivolous and ungodly, determined to abolish the great festival of Christmas. So it was, that he sent agents out into the villages and countryside, to stamp out Christmas where ever it was celebrated. One such agent was Nicholas/Nichole Grimnasty, the witch finder general, who was foolish enough to try to stop the Christmas party in the village inhabited by Dame Dumplings, her niece Emma Sweetly and the Christmas Cavalier, Sir Daniel Dash ....... 

It is a very funny script, all the characters fit into the framework of a traditional pantomime.
