Raising the awarness not the fear

Trickster recalls the story of a man called George, his wife Mary and his war time friend Sidney. He has recently become a victim of distraction burglary. The performance draws on a time when people were returning from the war having risked their lives for freedom and asks why some now fear crime, now that they are older.

With professional actors, an original script and lyrics and music specially written to capture the important messages, Trickster is unique, innovative thought provoking and impactive, leaving the audience wiser, smarter, stronger and more resilient when dealing with doorstep callers.

On tour around the united Kingdom, Trickster is reaching audiences delivering the prevention message without raising the fear of crime.

    Don't take me in
George sidney and PC
Just what does a caller look like
 

Trickster starts off with George talking to his friend Sidney, recalling a visit from a bogus gas official who took his life savings. He remembers his war years, his hopes and dreams. The person that called on him didn't just take away his savings, he took his pride and self respect. George then gets advice from the local Police and with a clever routine George and Sidney practice the doorstep procedure.

The audience is then taken to the place where the bogus callers meet. We see three callers exchanging names and working out their next crime, we even see them trying to sell items to members of the audience including Mr Floggit the very dodgy antiques dealer. The bogus callers then sing the catchy Bogeyman March.....

One of the callers then tries to call on George but he is now 'wised up' following the police advise, he rejects the attempts to con him again and calls the police, the caller is arrested. The show has a very uplifting ending with the cast and audience singing "Don't take me in".

Trickster lasts 45mins and with an optional 30 minute sing along afterwards, makes the whole experience a very positive one for all involved and one not to be missed........
