Taylor's Tractor leaflet

Performed on a fully restored vintage Ferguson tractor and trailer, this new Common Players production will continue the company’s reputation for presenting high quality original live performances in informal outdoor locations.

High energy performances, music and a petshop of puppets will all be deployed to tell the story of how Taylor, our reluctant hero, aided by his lifelong friend Noah and his trusty Fergie save the town’s carnival float.

Penned by company member Miles Russell, the show will be spectacular and fun and include moments of gentle audience participation and dancing. For 12 years we have been engaging family audiences of all shapes and sizes with action packed plots and cliffhanging drama. Taylor’s Trailer will be an ideal summer treat for all, enjoying a picnic and an evening of live entertainment in the setting sun.
