    Neil Duffield

    Paperback (Samuel French, Jan. 31, 2015)

With a soft-hearted Wolf and the wooden-hearted Princess Vasilisa (bewitched by Koschei) accompanying him, Ivan travels on to Baba Yaga's hut where the final struggle commences... Music, magic, puppetry and comedy infuse this delightful story which is ideal as a seasonal entertainment or even, with its predominantly forest setting, as an outdoor show.|3 women, 2 men, 6 women or men

  • The Wizard of Oz

    Alfred Bradley, Frank L Baum

    Paperback (Samuel French Ltd, Jan. 12, 2015)
    This version can be produced very simply. It needs no stage and may be performed on the floor of a school hall. Alternatively a more ambitious production could use back-projection, flash-boxes, and all the magic of a proscenium stage, provided all the settings are kept simple. By doubling, the cast can be reduced to a total of nine players.
