The Dream Dealer

Forget drugs and alcohol 'The Dream Dealer' is more dangerous than either, with the wrong dreams he could lead you to both and worse!

Finn is a loner, he lost his mum early in life and his dad won't talk about it. The gang at school pick on him, but all of them hide insecurities and dreams of their own. Suddenly one day Mr Turpentine ,the ineffective art teacher, introduces Delphi a new girl from Australia. Why is it she seems to like Finn, why does Turpentine wear a wig and more important than that who is the Dream Dealer and what does he want.

Written by Marita Phillips and Harriet Petherick this is a show specifically written for children between the ages of 10 and 14, ideal for schools and youth theatres with a cast of anything from 11 to 40. Both Marita and Harriet are involved with this production.

The opening number for me was quite chaotic and I didn’t think I would be able to enjoy it, but it settled down and became very interesting.  The storyline is more than just basic and I sussed one of the twists just before it was revealed. Despite its short run it deserves to do well as it is a nice piece of musical theatre.
