Lyndhurst Drama & Musical Society Present The Good Life Tom Good is turning forty and he’s had a “lightbulb moment”. Tired of the gruelling commute and the soul-crushing world of corporate toy design, he decides to do the unthinkable: quit his job, and turn his suburban home into a self-su cient farm. e Goods embark on a hilarious journey of homegrown revolution. But “living o the land” isn’t all fresh air and organic peas. Between the escaped goats, the DIY electricity, and the terrifying prospect of making their own clothes, Tom and Barbara nd that the simple life is surprisingly complicated. Standing in their way—and clutching a G&T for dear life—is the formidable Margo Leadbetter. Along with her long-su ering husband Jerry, Margo is determined to maintain the social standards of the neighbourhood, even if it means declaring war on the pig next door. Jeremy Sams’ stage adaptation brings the iconic characters of the classic 1970s sitcom back to life for a new generation. It is a nostalgic, laugh-out-loud celebration of friendship, the absurdity of the British class system, and the timeless question: Is there more to life than the rat race?
