My Hamster's a Genius by Dave Lowe Short Play, Comedy, TYA, Contemporary Cast: 4M, 3F, 4M or F When Ben is given a pet hamster, he's underwhelmed: until the hamster (which he has already unfortunately named 'Stinky') turns out to be a genius - a genius who helps him with his homework. Ben's sudden improvement at school attracts the suspicion of his family - and the attention of his teacher, the horrible Beardy McCreedy. When Ben smuggles Stinky into school one day, for help with a test, the results are disastrous. But when Ben's house is burgled, Stinky can identify the culprits. And together, one boy and his hamster make a plan to trap the criminals and save the day. Seven Little Australians (Stage Play) Adapted by David Reeves Full Length Play, Drama, Australian, 1900s Cast: 12M, 14F The new stage play adaptation of Ethel Turner's classic tale is now available to perform! The timeless classic story of Seven Little Australians is now brought to life as a stage play for young and old, active or passive. Ethel Turner's uniquely approachable tale is now adapted by David Reeves, creator of the much loved musical of the same name. It tells the story of a few months in the life of the Woolcot family. Captain Woolcot, recently widowed, has remarried. And his young and beautiful new wife is not much older than his eldest daughter. She quickly provides a seventh mouth to feed. Judy, the wild member of the Woolcot tribe fully lives up to her antics as in the book. The cast of this play shares the trials and triumphs of this truly Australian colonial family. Laugh, and cry! It's as relevant today as it was when it first took Australia by storm more than a hundred years ago! For more information on applying for performance rights or to buy the script, click here. |
