Laxefelders presents: The Taxing Issue of Tithing
by Catherine Cawood
Tithing is the ancient practice of paying a tenth of one's produce to the church. And as long as there's been tithe, there have been complaints about tithe. Honestly, it's quite a soap opera.
Welcome to the latest romp through local history with Laxefelders ('Laxefelda to Laxfield', 'Laxfield's Henry', 'Jackie & The Beans Talk').
With East Anglia firmly at the heart of the telling, follow the twisty tale of tithe from the Old Testament right through to the modern day. We promise you dodgy royals, conflicted vicars, grumpy farmers, Laura Kuenssberg, Blackshirts, a rabbit, a woman called Doreen and MORE! Lots of music, and many, many hats. Also - of course - your chance to play Spot the Meat Loaf, because you'd be disappointed if we didn't.
This is a fresh and original take on an issue that impacted thousands, written by Catherine and performed by Julie, Tony, Pen, Karen, Claire and Becky.
Best suited to ages 7+. May contain nuts.
