Simply Magic!

Our adaptation of The Selfish Giant has undergone many changes during its lifetime and the present format has proved to be the most flexible and adaptable and the one for which we have won the most acclaim. The narrative songs are especially suited to a dance/drama presentation and our resource book gives many ideas for production. We also include ideas and characters taken from the proposed television animation series that teachers enjoy weaving into a fuller script of their own devising. One such script was sent to us by Adam Smith and we liked it so much that we wanted to make it available as an optional extra for schools who want to make more of the drama.

The script has retained the mystical and magical elements that Spike Milligan so loved, and balanced it with delicious topical humour. The influences of Catherine Tate and Little Britain can be detected and even Bob the Builder makes an appearance! The script can only be purchased with a full pack.

Children love the vocal recording of ‘Forever Friends’ performed by a 13 year-old Jon Lee of S Club fame.
