About

Adapted from the cult short stories by Roman Dirge, author of Leonore the Little Dead Girl. Performed at The Forum, Barrow in March 2005. With special thanks to Andrea Sosa-Martin for her role in helping to devise the show

Act 1

After their mum and dad disappeared leaving only a note taped onto the fridge, Brother and sister Max (9 years) and Molly (11 years) look

after each other in their increasingly rubbish filled house.

One day their cat, Miss Tiki, gives birth to a very strange kitten, ‘the cat with a really big head’. Disgusted, Molly goes in search of a new pet while Max tries to love the new kitten.

Meanwhile, each night the house is visited by the magical Sandman who brings both Max and the kitten a variety of strangely unpleasant dreams brought on by Molly’s attempts at

bed-time stories.

Act 2

Five years later, Molly has left home to run a circus freak show and Max is sharing the squalid house with a lot of flies. When his girlfriend dumps him for a lad with a Mercedes all the negative emotions he feels move into the house with him.

With the help of his friends he fights them off. Meanwhile the rubbish is coming alive . . .
