Fantastical Friends
When Fred is forced to go to the library to do a report, he meets the Book Master, a magical character who introduces him to some of the most popular fictional characters ever created. Before his eyes, sections from several great books are acted out. You can choose whichever 6 to 8 scenes of the 9 included to comprise a full evening's entertainment. Scenes include "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "Little Women" (Americana); "Jane Eyre" (Gothic); "Dracula" and "The Monkey's Paw" (horror); "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "A Thousand and One Arabian Nights" (fantasy); "Great Expectations" (British); and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (detective). Your audience, like Fred, cannot help but become involved with the fantastical (fantastic + magical) friends who'll spring to life on stage.
