The Angel on the Town Hall Clock

A good story should have a happy ending. Real life however is filled with untoward events and refuses to follow the rules of Mozartian opera.Our characters will still be presented in theatrical style. Each will have a few moments of monologue or a chance to stand alone on stage. None speaks from a pulpit; they all act on stage. This is a puppet theatre of words revealing only half the truth - but which half? Perhaps it is best not to believe a single word.Drawing of Burslem old town hall based on original by Matthew Rice author and illustrator of The Lost City of Stoke on Trent.
