The School Underneath

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Kareen Pennefather 

  • Notes

    A thriller for 6-9 year olds.

  • Synopsis

    Eric Bland is a normal, ordinary boy, so ordinary that no one seems to notice him. Nothing out of the ordinary or exciting ever happens to Eric. Nothing that is until a mysterious girl appears in his classroom and turns Eric's world on its head. 

    Milly has come from The School Underneath, a school that is just a moment away from Eric's school, a place that looks like his school but is very, very different. Together they must work out where Milly has come from and how to get her back there before the school bell rings. Adventure is closer than you think!
