Top of the Mops

Illustrated by David Pattison

This is out of print as a single edition, but included in my collection of plays called Books and Crooks and other plays, see above.

Julia says ...

This is one of my favourites. I wrote it when my own son, Alastair, was about 14 and had his own rock band. The play was written for “reluctant readers aged 10-14” but I find it goes down well with any group of top primary or lower secondary children. Teenager Andy puts an advert in the paper for a singer in his band. His mother Carol puts an advert in too, for a cleaner. The result is a farce of mistaken identities. There are parts for 4 people.
