 BRILLIANT THE DINOSAUR
Music, lyrics and book by Richard Stilgoe
Synopsis
In the near
future the Banks family are living in a town on the South Coast of
England. When a particularly bad storm opens a cave in the cliff, it
reveals the town's oldest inhabitant - a female diplodocus. The Banks
children discover her and help her hide, but concealing thirty metres
of reptile is not an easy job, and eventually the diplodocus and the
grown-ups meet face to face, with ghastly results. With a tuneful score,
this funny, moving work provides many opportunities for a large cast
and inventive staging. Duration 55 minutes approx.
