The Lambton Worm by Timothy Hallett and Nicholas Richards |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 5. Minimum total without doubling = 19. Chorus. Very flexible casting. There is one narrator role, but this could be shared out. Equally, the chorus could be 'all the actors'. |

Music | A 40-page musical score is included with the Producer's Copy of the script. |

Synopsis | The tale of the wild worm of Wearside and its grisly end. It should be emphasised that 'worm' is used in its old sense of 'serpent' - so this is a story of knights fighting dragons. |
