The popular Mondays at Six at St Clements programme
will host The Snow Goose by Paul
Gallico on August 6 at 18h00.
The performers will be Roger Knowles,
Jacqui Jayamaha and Pieter Scholtz.
Philip Rhayader lives alone in an abandoned
lighthouse on the desolate Great Marsh of Essex. One afternoon, a hauntingly
beautiful child, Frith, visits Rhayader, bringing with her an injured snow
goose. At first, Frith is scared of Rhayader with his sinister hump and crooked
hand, but he is gentle and kind and Frith begins to visit regularly. When the
snow goose departs for home, Rhayader is left alone again. The following
winter, the snow goose and Frith return to the lighthouse.
Time passes. 1940 and Rhayader sets sail
for Dunkirk to help the soldier’s trapped on the beaches. Frith never sees
Rhayader again. But the story of the saviour with the snow goose passes from
soldier to soldier and into legend.
