Goose Chase

In the depth of a Russian winter, what on earth could make frail old Baboushka cross hundreds of miles of snow on foot?

And why is she armed only with a feather duster and a set of Russian dolls?

Perhaps it’s the whispers of revolution, fuelled by Igor the oppressed singer and stablehand. Or is it the birth of a harmless baby, the one that’s got king Herod in a really foul temper. Whatever the reason, the closer Baboushka gets to the end of her mission, the more it seems the only person she can trust is, well, a goose… because not everyone racing to find the baby is bringing gifts.

Goose Chase is a startling reworking of the famous Russian folk story, served up richly spiced with traditional songs and carols.
