The Story
 |
Her mother and Daddy Bop's mother were joint owners of Number 50 Poinciana Street. Both mothers have gone to Heaven. Daddy Bop's mother (Mother B) having done so in a more spectacular fashion than the other... she dallied her bike into a Poinciana tree. She keeps wandering away from Heaven to talk to her grandson John, one of Daddy Bop's three sons. By magic means, Mother B enables John to see to Foreign where Miss Lady and her two weird daughters Countess and Duchess reign over high society, while bullying the third daughter Mary
Miss Lady is advised that she has inherited half of Number 50. Daddy Bop doesn't want anyone to know that he will now be part owner so he devises a scheme to pretend that the premises is still his. He turns it into the Poinciana Street Culcharality Centre. But the plan does not work. Miss Lady arrives and takes over.
Chaos reigns in the yard and Mother B has to be called in to save the day. In true Pantomime tradition, she does and the curtain comes down on the usual happy ending.
