Notes: | 'The Glass Street Ghost' is a fun mystery in two acts by a new playwright. The quirky characters and the situations they find themselves in, as well as plenty of humour and contemporary references, make it appealing and accessible to students aged 11 to 15. The flexible cast capacity and minimal stagecraft requirements make it inclusive, and cheap to produce. The fictional country town of Shorespoke where the play is set was originally in Victoria, but with some minor tweaks of the script Shorespoke could become any small town in any English-speaking country. PG for supernatural themes and mild theatrical violence. Performed to a full house both nights by a very enthusiastic cast. | |||||
Synopsis: | Between avoiding vindictive popular girls, rough bullies and mean teachers, life can be tough for a kid in the town of Shorespoke. Even more so for fringe-dwelling loners like aspiring reporter Sara Schnapper, detective-in-the-making Theodore Smart and would-be ghostbuster Danielle Strange. For them, the only place that holds any real excitement is the Waxblake family's supposedly haunted house, 42 Glass Street. Naturally, when the three young investigators are offered an inside look, they all jump at the chance. But to have any hope of success, they'll have to put aside their differences and learn to work together. There's more to this mystery than meets the eye, and it will take all their skills, courage and intelligence to get to the bottom of it. | |||||
