myself clear?” The Grand High Witch (played by senior Cortnie Allen) has a fiendish plan for
getting rid of all the children in England. First, her fellow hags will take over all the sweet
shops. Next, they will sell poisoned sweets and chocolates which turn children into mice.
Then, make way for the mouse traps! This terrible plan is overheard by a young boy narrator of
the story (played by senior AJ Pitts.) Fortunately, his grandma (played by junior Mady Leigh)
