Book Description
Sonny is twelve. Living with a stammer, he is finding his way in a world ruled by vicious vowels, confusing consonants, and the biggest beast of all - small talk. His only escape is with a comic-book hero of his own creation, who helps Sonny soar above his reality. But when he's cast by the headteacher in the school production of Hamlet, he soon discovers that language is power - and the real heroes are closer than he thinks. Wonder Boy, Ross Willis's play about the power of finding your own voice, premiered at Bristol Old Vic in March 2022, directed by Sally Cookson.

Book Description
Mike Kenny''s imaginative stage adaptation of E. Nesbit''s much-loved children''s classic. Famously filmed, this story of a prosperous Edwardian family - mother and three children - forced into near-penury in the rural north of England captures the anxieties and exhilarations of childhood with great tenderness and insight. As Mike Kenny says of his remarkably faithful adaptation, aeYou donOCOt need a real train to perform this playa the most powerful prop is the imagination of the audience, the most effective tool the skill of the actors.OCO So this version of "The Railway Children," which offers three plum roles for young performers, is eminently suitable for schools, youth theatres and drama groups - anywhere, in fact, where the cry of aeDaddy! My Daddy!'' is likely to provoke a tear. ''Lavish, warm-hearted... one of the very finest childrenOCOs stories of the 20th century, and it is served superbly by Mike KennyOCOs adaptation''- "Whatsonstage.com" ''This glorious adaptation... profoundly moving... it never for a moment runs out of steam''- "Guardian" ''Mike Kenny''s script provides everything needed for a cracking evening at the theatre.''- "Amateur Stage" ''Mike KennyOCOs adaptation shows his mastery of playwriting for children and families... adults and children alike are enthralled by the clever mix of imagination and reality''- "Financial Times""
