Synopsis
King Matt
$12.99
Published by Capercaille Books
The story of a boy who becomes a king, is a simple fable filled with surprisingly complex resonances
In common with the very best in storytelling for children, it confronts the big moral issues surrounding the way in which one makes one's way in the world and through life - self-interest vying with self-sacrifice, the greed of the individual with the needs of the collective
The boy-king Matt is undoubtedly the hero of the tale but it is his human faults and frailties as well as his intrepid spirit that keep us on the edge of our seats right up to the suspense-filled ending
This is a play written for children that children would have great fun playing for themselves
