Pirates of The Carob Bean and other side-splitting scripts features four plays for students aged 10–14 that parody some well-known genres – the western, adventure and detective stories, and swashbuckling tales.
- Pirates of The Carob Bean
A rollicking high-seas drama that sees Pirate Captain Jolly Roger and Captain Ratsbottom battling it out for lost treasure. - Showdown at the Dry Reach Saloon
With Sheriff Yellabelly gone, who will save the town from the gun-toting Blackhead and his gang? - Cindy-Anna Bones and the Pimple of Doom
Archaeologist Cindy-Anna Bones and super spy James Blond race against time to save the world from the villainous Mouldfinger and the ancient curse of Tutenwhistle. - Clive Clueless and the Case of the Missing Fairytales
Pages are missing from some famous fairytales. Will Clive Clueless solve the riddles and break the case wide open? Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood and others hold the clues, but the Bad-to-the-Bone Gang is hot on their heels.
From the authors of the popular and award-winning Funky Fairytales, this new collection of plays is perfect for classroom drama, assemblies and parent presentations, and will have everyone rolling in the aisles!
