' The Christmas Cuckoo '
A play made by Elisabeth Kyle from the story by Frances Browne
Once upon a time two poor cobblers, while cutting their Yule log, found a cuckoo sleeping in a hollow tree root. In return for their hospitality it promised to bring them gifts when it came back in the spring-a leaf from the Golden Tree, worth a great price, and a leaf from the Merry Tree, which keeps folk gay all the year round. With such gifts you would have thought all would be well for the brothers, but it wasn't quite so simple. The play will tell you what luck the leaves brought them.
Conductor, P. S. G. O'Donnell
