"Children need a place to play
Where they can grow and thrive And nature needs protection To help it to survive." So ends the musical In 1987 16 year old Lester Hollaway saved an area of woodland from development and won the Radio 4/YMCA Best of British Youth Award. The plot is fiction and farce with zany characters thrown in along the way- BUT - the spirit of Lester pervades and the rights of children everywhere to have a safe and valued childhood is at its heart. |
Chapman and Thorp's Second Kind Deed for Today
We are quite happy for schools or other purchasing establishments to photocopy any part of our shows just so long as copies not passed on or re-sold. There is a lot of work in a show and they are not expensive so copy away but please destroy the copies after the show and encourage other colleagues to buy from our suppliers. Most importantly we hope you get the same fun from the performances as we did. Dave and John |
