The Pied Piper’ storytelling performances by Sandal Sticks Theatre
A Little town by a big mountain has a terrible, terrible problem… the town is overrun by rats! There are rats round every corner and rats round every street. The Mayor puts the word out that help is needed and a Pied Piper steps up. He is promised a large sum of money, but the mayor goes back on her work and the Pied Piper seeks revenge.
