The Monster Under the Bed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben has a BIG problem. His Mom is acting grumpy, his best friend Vince has stolen his precious binoculars, and his Dad is far, far away. Oh, and there's a monster under the bed. But when Ben Swaps places with the under-bed monster, Ben's life - and his school - is turned inside out, and upside down. A funny and thrilling play for children about friendship and facing up to your fears.
"Drawing with delicacy and wit upon the childhood fantasy of the monster under the bed, writer Kevin Dyer proves why that endangered species, the original play for children, is worth saving. This is a terrifically entertaining story about fathers and sons and the monster inside all of us." - Guardian, UK

The Snow Queen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Snow Queen rules her magical kingdom with a heart of ice and a grip as cold as steel. When shards of an enchanted mirror fly into Cei's eye he falls under its spell. He becomes cold-hearted and the Snow Queen steals him away to her far-away land. With Cei as her helper, The Snow Queen has a chilling plan: to freeze the hearts of all living things and rule supreme over a world of snow and ice. Only little Gerda, Cei's childhood friend, believes he can still be rescued and sets out on a life-changing journey to save Cei and defeat the Snow Queen.
"What distinguishes this show from much Christmas fare is that is never patronizes its young audience, or takes the obvious route when a more imaginative one is available. Way's writing has a lightness about it that works delightfully. This is a magical story, very well told." -The Guardian, UK
"Funny, sometimes frightening and hugely entertaining. The Snow Queen is wonderful family entertainment for the festive season." -South Wales Argus
"A wonder-world of magic and invention that carries you off whatever your age." -British Theatre Guide
