Beauty And The Beast

Synopsis:
Preserving the integrity and core themes of this much-loved fairytale, playwright still brings a sense of freshness and imagination to the script. In a past interview with The Lumière Reader, Gregory offered some advice for those wishing to produce children's theatre; Don't patronize the children. They are incredibly perceptive and savvy and can smell condescension a mile away. Just tell a good story with characters they will care about. Fart and snot gags are always useful as well. In her journey to see beyond the Beast's appearance and discover his true heart, our heroine Beauty is faced with a magic mirror, a big scary storm, a collection of silly sisters and a Marmite-loving Sea Captain.

Heroic Faun Number One

Synopsis:
Greg Cooper (The Complete History of New Zealand abridged, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe) was the most important featured extra background faun with no dialogue in all of Narnia and nobody saw him. Four years later Greg is coming out of the wardrobe to explain why. This is the story of one actor's journey from a life of dressing up as giant promotional products to dressing up as a featured faun in the giant multi-million dollar blockbuster film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It is the cautionary and comedic tale of an idealistic actor corrupted by the camera, call-sheets and catering.
