The Last Oz Story
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Large Mixed Cast
Forget the happy ending
There's a new witch in town
Peloros, the witchiest witch of them all
And since she arrived, things have gone completely haywire in Oz
The Munchkins, Winkies, Quadlings and other Oz folk are running around the Emerald City like they've totally lost their reason
And the Scarecrow with his great brain, the Tin Woodman with his big heart and the Lion with his enormous courage are powerless to stop it
In fact, they're part of the problem
What's to be done?
There's only one person whom even the wickedest witches fear and that's Dorothy Gale
But no one, not even Glinda, knows where she is
She just hopes that Dorothy hasn't forgotten that Oz needs her, too
Meanwhile, on the wrong side of the rainbow, a young woman has been admitted to a Kansas hospital for observation
Having just survived a tornado, she is trying to convince anyone who will listen that she is Dorothy Gale, just like in the fairytale
But no one believes her
Not the kind but absent-minded, Dr. Strohman
Not the stern but cowardly administrator, Ms Leone
And certainly not her heartless caseworker, Ms Tyndol, who has no room in her life for fantasy
However, Elise McKenna - a young reporter eager for a byline - suspects there is something more to Dorothy's story and is determined to get to the bottom of it
With time running out, Dorothy must find a way to help her friends before it's too late
But how?
She lost one of her magic slippers in the tornado, and she needs both if she is ever to get back to Oz and save the day
But will anyone believe her?
