The Blue Goose

The Blue Goose is a comedy play by the British writer Peter Blackmore.

The following year it transferred to the Comedy Theatre in London's West End where it ran for 68 performances between 23 January and 15 March 1941.

The West End cast included Viola Lyel, Ian Fleming, Iris Hoey, Billy Merson, Davina Craig and John Warwick who was replaced during the run by Ballard Berkeley.

The play is set in the small coastal town of Weymouth Regis, where the annual operatic society's performance of The Mikado is taking place.

However, when the captain falls overboard and she drifts out to sea, the lifeboat crew are called out still wearing their costumes from the performance.
