Brilliant the Dinosaur
Richard Stilgoe's beautifully touching and unique tale of friendship and family. And a dinosaur.
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.
