PLAYS FOR YOUNG ACTORS

 

The

Zoron

 

Cuthbert Smuglee is addicted to computer games and almost believes that he must save the world by defeating the Zorons. During a late night computer "battle" a Zoron-type figure breaks into the house and kidnaps him. Before long he is assisting his captors, the most inept gang of would-be criminals imaginable, to demand a ransom.
Meanwhile the police are called and television reporters arrive; his doting and dotty parents are distraught although his sister Jonquil throws a party to celebrate his disappearance. There is a commotion in the garden: Cuthbert is home. But that is not quite the end of the story!

This would be an excellent play for a mixed age drama group.

 

 

So once again a great success! Thank you. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves once more. The 'little' drama club has grown steadily over the past couple of years and gone from about 10 to 32. As it is only for Forms 5 & 6 (maximum of about 43) this is a really good take-up. Your plays have been very well received.

 'This script was perfect for this age group; it offered plenty of speaking parts with no starring lead.'
