The Compleat
Angler
By Izaak Walton
Adapted by Louise Page
Written during the uncertainties of the English Civil War, The
Compleat Angler is the fisherman's tale to end all
tales.
As Izaak Walton fights the unequal battle between man and
fish, he regales the audience with jokes, songs and jigs. He even reveals his
secret recipe for cooking pike - a recipe never to be divulged except to
anglers, honest men and milkmaids.
The story of Piscator and the ones that got away is about an
approach to life where the rewards found are not necessarily those sought. It
is about the wit of a disappointed man and the fact that luck can always
change.
Award-winning playwright, Louise Page, invites you to while
away 90 minutes on the riverbank while Izaak Walton baits his hook and waits to
see what bites.
