The Monster Under the Bed

OFT-monster-2014A HILARIOUS, NOT SCARY MONSTER STORY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
(recommended for 6 & up)
Runs Feb. 6 – 22

Ben has a BIG imagination and a humongous problem. His Mum is acting grumpy, his best friend Vince has stolen his precious binoculars and his Dad is far, far away- his father leaves for war and Ben’s imagination takes over. …oh, and there’s a monster under the bed. But when Ben swaps places with the under-bed monster, Ben’s life – and his school – is turned inside out, and upside down. This funny and original play for children about friendship and facing up to your fears is drawn with delicacy and wit upon the childhood fantasy of the monster under the bed. This is a terrifically entertaining story about home and where you belong- about mothers and fathers and sons and the monster inside all of us.
