Cast sizes vary between 18 and 40 and the range includes comedies, soap operas and dramas, fairy stories etc., using a range of drama forms. Some are based on short stories, poems or full-length plays. All have a moral or message, and all have been developed by the writer with children in a workshop context. The range is ability graded into four levels: 5-7, 7-9, 8-10, and 9-11 year olds. THE CLOWN WHO COULDN'T SMILE is a touching play with occasional pathos that explores the notion of happiness and the meaning of friendship.
