David Wood and Peter Pontzen. Based on the book by Michael Foreman.

Children's musical

Var. roles. Unit set. Here is a topical musical for young people based on the best selling book. Man destroys his world through misuse and disrespect, only to search for a replacement in the stars. In his absence dinosaurs and animals restore Earth's former beauty. When men return to claim the planet, they are reminded that it is the same decaying Earth they abandoned. The final note of this appealing and lively play for children is that Earth belongs to everyone and should be respected. The play was originally written for a large cast, choir and small orchestra, ideally to be performed by young people. There are many small parts to enable players of little experience to take part.

FEE: $35 per performance.
