We've just added a new product category to the website. It's for Educational Products and currently features two amazing DVDs for drama students. Of course, they'd be just as useful for a theatre or youth group too, so have a look and keep an eye open for more in this area!

Roll up, roll up – The Circus is in town!! All the excitement, colour and fun in the Big Top is here for your younger students....a Denver/Dorricott classic, re-released due to demand for easy to stage, shorter length musicals for primary aged children.
'From Galaxies to Gumleaves' - theatre Critic Ian Austin called it 'a good and undemanding musical for primary school level production'. You'll call it great fun and a wonderful Australian musical. Check out the link for all the details.

So now there's no excuse for knowing who to blame ... er, who's responsible for what. A great guide (did we mention it's free?) that covers everyone from the producer down to the publicity agent. And yes, it even mentions the Magic Clean Up Fairy! (Mainly that she doesn't exist)
