The Secret Hen-House Theatre by Helen Peters

The Secret Hen-House Theatre
by Helen Peters


Hannah lives with her 2 sisters and one brother on a working farm. Their mother has died and so their father struggles with looking after his children and running a loss-making farm. The rent has doubled and he is slowly selling farm machinery and cattle to pay for it. Hannah and her best friend Lottie yearn to put on a play at the farm and enter it into the local drama competition. Two acts of vandalism occur on the farm which threaten the future of the play, but the show must go on, and Hannah and Lottie are determined to overcome any obstacle put in their way.

A charming story of life on a farm based on the author's real childhood of growing up and working on her parents' farm.
