SYNOPSIS:
The play is set on a farm, which is the home of two down-in-the-mouth farmers, Betty and Bob. They have lost touch with each other, their animals and their own culture. In the time between Christmas and New Year, Betty and Bob get a surprise. Their little niece Holly needs to come and stay because her Mum is having an operation. When Holly arrives she feels very alone in a strange world with no friends. Things pick up, however, when she meets Tomos Trickman, a Puck-like fairy who explains to Holly how the two farmers have forgotten how to sing, dance and play games, and worst of all they refuse to believe he exists and have stopped putting food out for him in the traditional manner. Together Holly and Tomos bring the farm back to spiritual health and the play ends with an unforgettable, magical, New Year's night party. A Spell of Cold Weather is a winner of the Writer's Guild Award for Best Children's Play.
