Suffering from the stresses of the excessive workload that goes with being an editor, Sidriss the Confused decides she needs a holiday. But the job of editing her father’s latest novel cannot be left on hold, so before she can go, she has to find someone to fill in for her. As there are five candidates to choose from, Sidriss decides that she had best interview all of them.
Originally meant as the 2010 festive offering from the Players, but lengthily delayed due to ongoing technical problems, Sojourn is the fourth instalment of the sketch-series in the world of Harry Potter authorship. The Collins siblings return as Confuser and Confused, but the latest of Sidriss’ adventures sees other characters entering proceedings, including Dunshelm Players’ debuts for Mildread the Witch, Motley the Jester, Gretel the Dungeon Maid, and Ridolfo the Troubadour.
