Just So

Just So
Playwright Jan Silverman adapts the much beloved Just So Stories of Rudyard Kipling into a theatrical and strikingly imaginative stage play that can be performed for and by young theatre lovers. Including favorites tales such as How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, the Elephant's Child, the Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo, the Beginning of the Armadillos, and the Cat That Walked by Himself, Silverman playfully captures Kipling's facination with legends, the nature of man, and the way things became the way they are today. An enjoyable, timeless script for all ages, this play is appropriate for schools, communities, and both amateur and professional children's theatres.

Notes:
Based on the classic stories of Rudyard Kipling

Synopsis:
In a world where the upper classes are so bored that they seek to brighten their lives by buying dreams of poverty and violence, Ze and Roma profit by surgically removing and selling the dreams of the homeless and the poor. However despite his lavish lifestyle, Roma can't seem to shake the dark secrets of his own past as a child of the streets. When he kidnaps a homeless girl whose dreams are prophecies of the future, he finds himself torn between the life of power and privilege that Ze has given him and the past he's desperately tried to forget.
