Rainbow Theatre presents a full cast audioplay of the Roald Dahl classic 'George's Marvelllous Medicine'.

Adapted by Edward Phillips and featuring:
Ben Fairman as George
Patricia Hayes as Grandma
Steve Pacey as Mr. Kranky
Carole Boyd as Mrs. Kranky
Edwards Phillips as The Narrator

George's Grandma is a grizzly, grumpy, selfish old woman with pale brown teeth and a small puckered up mouth like a dog's bottom. Four times a day she takes a large spoonful of medicine, but it doesn't seem to do her any good. She's always just as poisonous after she's taken it as she was before. When George is left to look after her one morning, it's just the chance he needs . . .

'Rainbow Theatre cassettes make a healthy change from television.  Each is a full-scale dramatic production with original music and sound effects.  Just like a radio play.
It can make car journeys more peaceful, bedtime stories a pleasure.  Think of it as a babysitter you can call on day or night.
Rainbow Theatre exercises young minds, stimulates the imagination and best of all, kids love it!'

Recorded in 1987 by Rainbow Communications Ltd. (BOW 139)
