Published by Samuel French Inc
Large Mixed Cast
Perennially hard-up, lecherous, conceited, dishonest and drunk, the eighteenth-century Squire Amos Haggard was first conceived by Michael Green and subsequently brought to television screens in Eric Chappell's much-loved series
Here, in Chappell's stage adaptation, our anti-hero disguises himself as the notorious bar brawler 'One-Eyed Will' and ...
... seduces a member of the aristocracy
... poisons himself
... survives an encounter with Death
... fights a duel
... and ends up in prison waiting to be hanged
Where his son Roderick and servant Grunge are his not-so-faithful companions
The author describes this hilarious adaptation as "an undisciplined romp" and encourages imagination, ingenuity and a great deal of fun in its staging
